FordF150fixer I have another question

I take it you still use the carter 1 bbl carb. What did you do for the choke heat tube and the heat tube going to the top of the air horn? There is no place for them on the EFI manifolds. Thanks for any input.

Sorry, I can't help on the heat tube problem. I use a Carter 1 bbl that has a manual choke. There are conversion kits that convert your auto choke to manual. It may be easier to convert to manual as opposed to fabricating a heat tube.

I also don't use the hot air intake tube. I have found that a hot water heated carb base solves the carburator icing problem.

Did you resolve the plumbing issues of the EGR pipe?

Thanks. I'm gonna have to use the auto choke for awhile, I'll just wing it for now.

I take it you use a heated carb spacer. Where did you find one of those at? How do you have it mounted and hooked up? There seems to be an ever increasing parts list to this conversion, lol.

Yeah, I think I found all the parts I need to make the EGR tube work, I really appreciate your help on that.
