efi to carb

ok guys check this out. i'm putting a 460 in my 89 bronco that had a 5.0 efi. i know i'm going to have to do some creative wiring. i dont really care if that tach works or any of the gauges, i'm putting in all autometers. but the ignition is my real concern. any tips? as in what wires do what. i know i'll be able to figure it out, but if anyone has a good idea of whats goin on. it would be cool to get a heads up. thanks guys

I have a 86 E150 with a EEC and EFI and all the crap that goes with it. I'm going to get a wiring harness out of a older E or F seires truck and use that. I'm not too thrilled about a dura spark ignition,,, but I would much rather have that than the EEC! I have had about enough of thoes $40.00 TFI ignition modules. This EEC going down!! Have fun! And good luck!
