I'm assuming that by "V" carb you mean that lousy "Varible Venturi"
Contact your Ford Dealer. They supply a 2 bbl conversation kit. It supplies everything you need including the "EGR" W/plate and vaccum scematic's to make the switch. I have ran into this before.
What change's are you considering? Or are you going to restore it?

ty for your reply big 1.
yes its the venture carb.i will check out that conversion.
well i'm going to go mostly stock a couple of small upgrades like a lift kit and some motor mods nothing crazy though.

Personally I think that's a wise decision. It generally cost's less to restore an older truck if it's already in fairly good shape. With a few mod's to personalize it your ready.
I'm attempting to redo a 77 F100, but with my medical problem it's slow going.

hi big 1
i cant find that conversion kit anywhere,
do you know any place that may have it?
the ford dealer said they dont know eather.
thanks, shovelhead.

big1

Hopefully you recieved my P.M. In it I let you know that Ford no longer stock's that conversion. It was taken over by Holley.
Holley part number #1-591 is the carb
Ford part number# D84Y-9B989-A is the TPS

Hi Shovelhead I just bought an 88 Bronco and I am also redoing it. I am doing the body work next month not much to do to it just a few surface dings. I want to put the newer style door on.My currant doors have about a quarter inch of bondo on them also instead of having the truck mirrors I want the smaller ones that blend in a bit better. So just thought I would say good luck.
