Badass truck man, I’m about to get an 85, give me some good insight on future mods to come, keep it up brother
Thanks man! Good luck with your 85.
Great job man! Gotta give the truck love from this Florida boy as well. Doing the swap on my daughter's truck too!
Thank you! Good luck on your daughters truck 🤘🏻
I cut off and reused the factory spring locks on my 88, I ditched the factory line between the in frame pump and filter connected them with a compression fitting for header clearance. Amazon adjustable fuel pressure regulator and modified 2 of the fittings to accept the hard line spring locks.
good video man i got a 85 f150 i just rebuilt the motor and put a sum-1791 cam in it she sounds mean!
Thanks man! I want to put a cam in mine eventually.
Looks like you did an excellent job on the conversion. I really wish we had been able to see how you did it though. :)
I wish I had filmed more. This video was filmed when I was first trying to figure out RUclips lol
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms You did a great job with the build though! Keep up the good work!
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms what size is ur spacer i need one but i dont know wat size to get i have 1982 bullnose 5.0 looking good bro nice truck👍
Hey when u go from efi to carb. Do u have to change cam? Or just put points distributor in. I have 85 step side 302 efi but have a 302 carb motor. Want it carb with motor that's already in truck
I always wonder why people don't just sell the cars rather than taking them to the junkyard
Putting a carb spacer under the carb will help with vapor locking (insulator)
That van up on them rims is a work of art lol
Simple is better great job
I'm doing A 88 f ,250 351 winsor not quit sure how to do a acc cable TV cable since they are so long
I just curled mine up. Works fine with no problems.
That motor was never serviced with an oil change. Also that junk yard is way more organized than the ones I go to around me.
Ive been looking for an efi bullnose for years and you are just tearing one up no f’s given
Did you use the steel distributor gear for roller cam on your flat tapper cam or did a cast gear fit your hei distributor?
Damn right this video helped me out...
So here are my questions
1on the fuel pressure regulator who have on the firewall...u said that u put a switch on the dash...can u wire that straight to the ignition switch when u have to crank the truck?
2 also I couldn't understand the carburetor bogging..or flooding when u give it gas...u said something about the spacer?.is that the spacer between the intake and carb?
3. How does it work installing a Chevy distributor work..or rather dies the distributor shaft works on the Ford cam??and also the wiring for the HEI distributor??..sorry for all the questions..but I'm getting ready to do a whole mess on my 96...300..5 speed...out with the 300..in with a 351..also 3/5 DJM drop kit and finally frame off resto...Yea itsalot..but it's time ..I've had this truck since 2000... people just keep asking me if I want to sell it..and nope....it's a keeper..
I would suggest you read some of the bullnose forums online, they could answer all your questions in far more detail then I can. That’s where I learned everything from.
I knew it was gonna be bad when he said we wanted a eldelbrock
Edelbrock for the street Holley for the track.
Is it the AOD transmission? If so...how did you make sure the pressures were set so it shifts thru all the gears and doesn't eat the transmission?
I’m doing an ‘86 F150 with a 460, five speed maybe. Turned into a 4WD as well.
I wish I had a 460 with a 4 or 5 speed.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms
You can find ‘em occasionally at the pick & pull.
I am finally finished with mine, however now every time I put it in to Park or Reverse the engine dies on me. Just curious if you had a problem like that because I cannot figure it out to save my life!
Where's this junk yard at? It's heaven on earth!!!
Jacksonville Florida U Pull it
Could you tell us how you cut the throttle/ tv bracket? Where to cut and how much? Thanks
It really depends on what intake your using. I just trimmed my bracket down and drilled two holes that matched up to some existing holes on my manifold & bolted them together.
I have a 1985 F150. It was my dad’s and is original other than a replacement Autolite 2150 carb and gas tank. My gas mileage is horrible; 7mpg but no smell of gasoline and the pipes burn clean. Any suggestions for better fuel economy? Would I have change the intake manifold to upgrade to a more fuel efficient carb? The truck has an automatic overdrive transmission and only 127,000 original miles. No oil usage or leaks. It’s a farm truck and runs ok but I sure would like better gas mileage.
I’d suggest getting a afr & vacuum gauge & tuning your carb to maximize your MPGs
Can you post the links to all the stuff you used for carb conversion?
They are posted a few comments down.
Mine is the exact same shit I have it down to a bare block sitting in my living room
Do you have a facebook page? I dont have instagram anymore, and have a few quwations id like to message you
Hey man. Trying to get mine converted to carburetor. What kind of hose did you use for the fuel lines? Does it have to be fuel injection hose? Thanks
I used regular high pressure fuel line before the pressure regulator & regular fuel hose after it. Just make sure you connect it to your original fuel line securely so it doesn’t pop off & spray fuel everywhere.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms will do. Thanks
So you didn't need any transmission controller? I have a 91 f250 7.5 I'd really like to get some raw power that efi can't provide I have the e40d and im told I can't do the swap for that reason?
Your transmission is electronically controlled, my AOD is not electronically controlled. You’d have to probably run a full manual valve body in your transmission.
Looks great man!! I'm right in the middle of converting mine right now. I'm having some problems wiring up my factory fuel pump. I was thinking of just wiring the FP to the inertia switch. One thing I'm still wondering about is when the truck was efi the pump would run for about 5 seconds and cut off almost like it was just priming it. Now that I've got it carbed will it run the whole time the ignition is hot?
Mine runs continuously as well, there’s nothing wrong. Its because with the fuel regulator bypass it doesn’t allow it to build high pressure like a normal EFI system that primes & shuts off.
Is that the lkq in Clearwater? I think I remember seeing those Camino's and being sad. I was actually looking for a driveshaft for my 94 f150 a couple months ago because we converted it to a manual but they were all bent and mangled because of the forklifts when they dropped them into the rows
No it’s a yard in Jacksonville Florida
Any issues with the larger carb on a 302? 625 is more for a 351 right?
No issues, I’ve seen guys run a 750 on them. Its all in the tuning.
Hey bro, need some help. Doing the same conversion and not sure which wires need to go to the battery and solenoid. Which ones did you use? Thx
If your referring to the distributor one wire is for tachometer & the other is your hot wire for 12v
No, I’m talking about the starter solenoid. The small wires that attach to the small post. The truck I have came butchered so we don’t know what needs to go there besides the main battery cables.
@@blacksmith9143 just Google your solenoid & it should bring up some pics of your diagram. Mine is a two post.
Could you send a better picture of the throttle cable bracket ?
Hello. I have a 1989 Bronco with the 302 engine and I want to convert it from injection to carburetor. I have been told that gas mileage is much higher with a carburetor. You who already did it, 1. is it true?
2. How has it worked for you?
Yes I have a 87 ford f 150 that I'm swapping over to a carburetor but I'm not getting no fire out of the Coral can you show me how to wire up the coil and distributor . and do I still need the computer for anything please show me
My coil & distributor are one unit. Look up wiring a HEI distributor.
Can you show how to get to this point? I’m in the same boat as you. Someone thought they were a mechanic and nothing is right or stock and I’m lost
Are you wanting to go back to fuel injection or go with a carburetor? This video shows a basic overview of how to carb swap these trucks.
I think I actually saw you post about your truck in a Facebook bullnose group I’m in.
What firing order are you running? I'm trying to get my running, but can't seem to find the right one
I’m just running stock firing order for a 86 f150
I just got a 1991 Bronco. It has EFI but I was considering buying a used motor that has an Edelbrock carb. What all is needed to do the conversion?
Transmission controller will be needed. Along with intake , pump, regulator, carb, ditributer
Why did you do the conversion?
Not a fan of old EFI, also wanted something more simple & easier to work on & I wanted to clean up all the clutter in the engine bay.
Probably because he has no clue how to work on efi.
Just did a EFI motor to carb swap on my 302..she distributor gear..new everything.. but it won't idle below about 1000rpm... if you try to get it down it starts to shiver..shake??? I used the old but new flat tappet 302 fuel.pump.... do I need to use a electric pump?? Is my fuel pressure low??..
Check for vacuum leaks first using some carb cleaner or starting fluid around the base of carb and intake manifold.
@Thompson Family Homestead already have checked it
@@drumrooster Possibly a Dirty carb, or timing is off. Your fuel pressure should be around 5 to 6 psi if you’re running a edelbrock carb.
I have a fuel injection one. It’s doing the same thing. Priming then stopping, should I go carb?
Fuel injection should prime then shut off until after it fire ups & is running then it should kick on again.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms yeah it just not?
Oh and where is the engine control module?
Why carb swap?
Less electronics & it looks cleaner
I have an 85 Bronco with original EFI rebuild 5.0 with GT40 and the MF wont start only on Sundays at 8 am or Wednesday at 5pm.
Mine looked the same when I had it tore apart they didn’t change the oil like they shouldve
It was definitely neglected. Still runs like a new motor though.
I have the same truck and motor, it did not look like that hahahaha
Quick question, what wires did you hook up to the distribuidor?
I ran my own wires from the solenoid by the battery.
Run away from the old wiring harness or the hot wire
Where’d you get those clamps on the firewall 12:08 😂
You got some good eyes lol... those are some high quality aircraft clamps, very rare, you gotta know some high up people in the government to get your hands on some 😂
Doing this surgery on my '90 F150 this weekend.
Did you keep the AOD cable too? I see you didn't buy that bracket, just the one where the cables hit the carb.
You have to keep the AOD cable or you will destroy you trans. I bought a cheap adapter of Ebay and reused the stock bracket. I didn’t want to spend the 100$ for the lokar cable.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms, I know it needs a cable. I was hoping I could save the $100 on the Lokar. Looks like the answer is yes. I have the Sonnax Holley/AOD bracket coming. Found an '83 Mustang GT intake, and a nice Holley four barrel. All in for $125 total.
@@leesbassment6393 sounds like you have fun weekend ahead of you! Hope everything goes smoothly for you and you’re doing burnouts by Monday haha
@@FloridaCrackerKustomshopefully. The next project for this truck is a manual swap. Not quite ready for that, but I do have an M5OD waiting.
@@leesbassment6393 I’ve got manual pedal assembly I’m about to put up on eBay.
Hi my name is Bob I have an 88 f150 wanting to do a varb swap was wondering if you could send me a parts list of what you used.
One of my trucks is a 86 f-150 4x4 with efi ...just wanted to know what your reasons were doing a carb swap ...thanks
The EFI system was torn apart when I got the truck. The truck is eventually going to be a Drag Racing truck so I wanted a carb to have more tune ability.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms good to know . I actually have my efi top end torn off my 86 f-150 & had the same issue as you with the excessive sludge in the oil gallery . The efi is does have it's positive & negs but I may also convert this 5.0 liter back to a carb for the simplicity.
@@faronf2006 if it’s a daily driver I’d stick with EFI if it’s just a toy the carb is a lot of fun.
How did you cut and mount ur kickdown brackey
What kind of fuel pressure regulator did you use make &part #
Holley 12-803bp
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms So maybe could find hot wire somewhere off ignition to power pump So wouldn't keep being hot if forgot turn off or accident etc? I have an old efi 5.8l on f250 been thinking about this just kinda dragging my feet- So thanks for video it's got me motivated to get after it Plus I was figuring it be lot more expensive- Thanks!
Looks like they used Quaker State motor oil that's what does a motor it gums up
How do you connect the hei distributor?
hey im working on a carb swap on my f150 and was wounding if maybe you could help me with links maps and everything
Any links of some of the parts you ordered? Think I'm going to do this with my 88 302 bronco

I appreciate you doing that!
@@cummins0227 no problem man
What accelerator cable and TV cable did you use
Stock
How you like the eldabrok carb
I’m not a big fan of the AVS2 I’d probably just buy a regular Edelbrock next time.
Any chance you can help me with my 92 ford 150 5.0 ron
What’s up with it?
Its always saying sensor too lean..she will surge.
Did you run a fuel return line?
Yeah you gotta have a return to keep your pumps cool.
How did you wire that fuel pump ?
I wired it to on/off switch, found the hot/ground wires In the factory harness & spliced into them.
What junk yard is that?
Go pull it - Jacksonville Fl
What’s the part number for the distributor
Just look up Ford HEI distributor on Google or eBay they’re everywhere.
@@FloridaCrackerKustoms also curious about the timing or does it just drop in
@@tyeferguson1636 you have to time the motor after install
You port polish or it so clean it doesn't matter
Pero no lo encendiste brother.
Engine bay looks better
what brand is the fuel pressure regulator and where did you buy it? Thanks.

Thanks Cracker, that’s what I came here for, doing the same to my 90 mustang. Good work
