If one absolutely HAD TO... can an M104 be made to work with a carb? I can have an intake fabricated no problems there... what i want to know is where to get the spark. where can i attach a conventional coil/distributor? can the current coils be made to fire without the computer? what can control the retard/advance aside from the computer if i were to possibly use the current coil setup?... i'm thinking a conventional distributor/coil and a centrifugal or vacuum advance system is the simplest way to go... only problem is where to mount it. what do you guys think?

no... restoring to the original systems/getting a new engine/junking the car is NOT an option.

btw... i'm not enirely familiar with the m104 yet... i'm a 603 guy. not even sure if the m104 has a distributor... i dislike computer controlled mechanicals.
