Soft brake pedal on '85 GT

[Trick Pony]

Better stay away from dumpy, or you'll end up gettin greasy in his garage every weekend like the rest of us.

That's ok, it happens in my garage too. Not as much since we had our baby but I sneak out there when I can.

A greasy man is a happy man .

So I assume that your 85 is a factory auto since it is CFI . Its a pretty simple swap and you can go cheep and mod factory parts or use an electric pump and run new lines . It all depends on the budget . If you stay auto and aod you will either need to modify your tv rod and get a carb with the ford kickdown or use a lokar cable with any carb . I will recomend you stay holley style on the carb and stay away from the carter/edl style but thats just my prefrence . The rest is easy .

you can just use a carb regulator and the factory fuel pump

[dumpycapri85]

So true ! There are lots of cheep ways to do it .

I'd probably prefer to do it that way since I replaced the tank and pump not that long ago. Does it negatively effect the life of the pump since the CFI setup is meant to run at higher fuel pressure than the carb?

[dumpycapri85]

The regulator just cycles the fuel thru the system so its not like its a dead head setup and stresses the pump . Its just like running a smaller motor that doesn't use as much fuel . I wouldn't run a 255 or something but a stock pump should live fine . You just have to pick the correct regulator and plum it in and run a hot switch wire to the pump relay .

[Trick Pony]

Cool. What distributor would you recommend going with?

[dumpycapri85]

Buget stocker from and 85 carb car or MDS if you want to spend the cash . I think there is one in the classifieds , either here or in over in canada .
