I have a question about your VTEC controller... how did you wire it up? The instructions for mine are all based around using an EFI VTEC ECU...

No, Carbs only need 4psi of fuel pressure.

a Fuel Injection Tank will deliver over 60psi.

Stock tank with an Inline Low-Pressure pump is all you need.

I'm in the middle of doing this conversion and this guide has been a great help! One thing I'd like to know more about is the throttle and choke cable relocation. I've sprayed my rocker cover and don't want the cables to rub on the paint.

If somebody could describe where to route the cables or illustrate with pictures then it would be much appreciated. I dont want to risk running them somewhere that hasn't been done before as I know the cables might not opperate properly if too greater angle is bent am I right?

Throttle cable will route under the cars and through the center just fine. Choke ones a little harder as the cables not as long.

If your clever, some new brackets could do the job
