i haven't done it but while your at it i would certainly convert it to electronic ignition. the later ones where electronic, should be any easy swap.

just bolt everything up as per the EFI vers, the wiring would be the only real tricky part.

only other catch i can think of is any difference in fuel between what your uses and what the donor vehicle uses.

you may need to make sure the electronic dizzy is from a 4y-e i converted my 4y to a custom efi setup and the normal 4y-c dizzy wouldnt work properly. (too weak a signal)
