Easy, guys.. I put my pants on just like the rest of you - one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make CFI Series II EAs go fast...

Dont listen to them mate.
Go to Ford and order some "Performance carby jets" for your EA and chuck them in. I think they only cost $6 or so. They will liven the car up heaps.

yeah will do, i'll take some pics when i replace the dizzy.
they put the airfilter in a bastard of a place. the casing is bolted to the top of the engine, so the bolts pretty much get welded to the engine when it heats up.

Well, I'm guessing you typed up that first post with the car in it's current state (sitting on your nature strip with overgrown grass where your lawnmower couldn't reach because it obviously doesn't run). So, going by that, making it run would give you more power than you currently have.
Current power = 0kw
After distributor = 111kW (EA CFI is 120kW, carby XF equivalent was 111kW so you must have that much power at the FW)
111kW increase from changing a distributor FTW.
After that do the carby jets.
I did this on a EGAS BF2 XR6 and it doubled the power.
Fukk im bored 55 minutes till home time.

Make sure you buy a CFI dizzy
Having a carby would make it rather unique, so I wouldn't call it stock

PS bolts welded to the engine?

almost exactly like that.
see how the housing for the air filter is connected to the top of the engine.
that bolt that connects the engine and the housing hadn't been undone for years, quite annoying to loosen.
my engine is slightly cleaner

tis all good, you've learned it's injected. Better than "upgrading" by purchasing a bigass carby and *then* finding out...
