I already have an extra wire for the tach, so that is not a problem.
Mallory makes a fuel regulator that can bring the stock 39 PSI all the way
down to 3 PSI if you run a return line.
As for the alternator, I have heard that they will not work without the
computer, I was going to investigate getting a regulator, but I have no idea
how to wire it.
I was thinking of a 750 Speed Demon or a 770 Avenger carb, I already have a
Mopar small block HP distributor.
