Cool tbi to carb swap questions

Ive searched and searched on this and cant seem to find what im looking for. Im looking to do a mild build and carb swap on my 88 d100 and wanna know if i can just modify my harness for the swap. Or how if anyone has done this before all i have found is that i need a external regulator for the alt an something for the ac . Thanks guys

you will need:
Intake & Carb
Distributor and wire it in
External voltage regulator and wire it in
Determine which fuel pump you are going to use and work that out.
You will need the linkage and brackets for the kick down
You will need to do some re-wiring for AC
Forget the Cruise Control if you have it - it won't work again

on of the chrysler V8 engines have 2 bbl and 4bbl carbs. the cables and all the linkage going the carb are made to fit the 2 bbl only. when you swap to a 4 bbl most if not all cables ect, if you use 2 bbl parts you run the risk of the carb jamming at WOT. dont beleave me? check the parts book. all so i think all 440s was only 4 bbl. just find two engines that are STOCK, one 2 bbl one 4 bbl, use a tape and measure the location of the pin that is on the carb leaver. like i said check the parts book.
