Intake swap

Ok, so i am still having problems with my ignition not advancing on my 88 4.0 5spd....and i am getting so fed up i am starting to entertain the idea of a carburetor, so i can run H.E.I. So the question is can i bolt the 258 intake manifold onto my engine? Anyone know if you can?

everyone is going to try and talk you out of this. fuel injection is the way to go. your distributor need to be indexed correctly. got all the wires going to the right plugs?

no seriously tho, do not backtrack and bolt up a carb...all the performance enhancements and fuel mileage will be gone
