Can I Switch From Fuel Injection To Carburetor?

Posted at: 2015-01-07 
I have a manual 1990 Mazda truck that is fuel injection and want to change it to a carburetor and was wondering if that was possible to do on this type of truck?

I'm pretty darn sure your little truck has a carb already but if it doesn't because you're in a state that mandated the injected motor sooner, then yes, you can put a carb on if you steal an intake and carb from an earlier truck. It would be a crazy thing to do however as injection is so much better. The early carbs were awful things, most guys threw them away and put on a Weber with an adapter plate. If you want to get rid of the injection because you have the very common problem of a bad computer, it can be fixed. I'll do it for $50. if you pay the shipping. I also have the adapter plate, but no Weber if you're interested.

Retrogression, eh? Oh, so--a Wiseguy eh? I am not familiar with particular vehicle but I am pretty sure you can convert all of them to carburetor, finding a manifold being the only obstacle. The average Joes out there go through strenuous contortions, far exceeding this, and yet I doubt that any of it got anywhere.

Well, like for instance in old vws which I know something about the old single port heads and manifold gave much better MGPs-so important now. That would be retrogression that works.

I would look at a Weber or other carb website for a matchup. it's all been done before.

Why would you want to? Carburetors are inefficient and a pain in the neck. They catch on fire and stall out often. Ontop of the cost to change it would also cost constant money to repair and maintain. People usually spend that kind of money to fix a problem. Not make it worse

The cost to do so will likely outweigh the present value of this 25-yr old Mazda truck. You may as well throw money in the river.
