Just hard wire it through an ignition source. See my carb faq in my sig for a wiring diagram of that green plug. You will also need to put in a fuel pressure regulator set at 3-7psi.

it will work, but I'd figure out the EFI instead. Even if you have to pay a mechanic..

No more steep hill climbing with a carb.

I'm an old timer and I understand that injection has many,many good points but... I have carbs in all 4 of my toys (most converted)
We race one and play(daily drivers)in three and once a spring loaded needle and seat is installed I have never had a carb let me down. I've seen injection run upside down and I can't argue with that. But if I don't have a dry sump oiling system I'd like to have my truck stop ruunning if it's upside down??
I could be wrong...

We run webers and holleys, and only use two vacuum lines. One to the distributor and one to the power brakes. Everything else gets plugged.
