Post Swap efi for carb?

My 86 F-150 gets terrible gas mileage. Its a 302 with an overdrive tranny, and no amount of tune-up will make it get any better than about 12 or so. Would swapping to a carb make it any better? IF so, does anyone know a website that details this? Im not a big fan of electronic stuff, so a carb would be right down my alley. Thanks.

We have a new Fuel delivery Forum.


It's near the bottom of the forums just above the
State forums.
Maybe post this question there too.

You can't get much more efficient than fuel injection.
