What is all to it as in Deleting Throttle Body System and going with Carburetor set up ? Can I use the same Fuel pump in my truck now and use the fuel pressure regulator for the Carburetor ? ---

No. The pressure will be too high. Carburetors operate at a much lower pressure. ---

You need a return-style regulator you can set to about 4 psi. The regulator you have now should be IN the throttle body so when it goes, so does the regulator. Use the return line as a return line for your new regulator. The fuel pump in the tank can supply plenty of fuel since it will be running at a lower pressure. ---

why do want to take a step backwards . . . ?! Do you live in an area with emissions testing . . . ?! If you answered yes to the latter, it’ll never fly, unless you find somebody blind and/or crooked ---

As far as using the distributor on my truck , What kind of Distributor and Wires do I need to tap into ? ---

I have retrofit old fuel/ignition systems to many vehicles to suit the customer but more often than not repairing the original system was much cheaper and more reliable. I always diagnosed vehicles and gave ball park estimates on the alternatives and never found it more beneficial ($$$$) on a fuel injected Chevrolet truck. ---

Tap into it for what? How did we go from the fuel system to the ignition system? ---

If the fuel injection system is disabled the ignition will operate at base time and the truck will not be driveable.
