    distributor setup

    hi all
    im trying to find info on the distributor and carb setup on the buick 3.8 i have the australian model which never came with this setup, this might sound stupid but what i need to know is the main difference between the fuel injected engine and the carby engine.
    things like bolt patterns, if parts can be swapped between the two.

    can the fuel injected motor running a computer be converted to a carb motor with a distributor???

    yeah i have been researching this, i have found that i need to swap the cam crank and timing cover, but not too sure about the heads to a carb manifold also timing chain.

    i think the only difference in crankshafts is that the australian crank has a gear for an oil pump and different flywheel bolt pcd.

    please correct me if im wrong
