Thanks for all of the responses. I know that NIssan did indeed make stand alone distributors for the VG30, but locating one is next to impossible. I also wondered why the ignition wouldn't work without the efi, but that's just what everyone says, and I know nothing about efi and computers so I just took it as fact. It would most likely work with the MAF sensor but that sticks out so far it looks so out of place. I also realized that the carburetor may not be any lower than the upper plenum of the efi, but it has so much less area. If I left the upper plenum on and tried to put a hood on, there would be a huge hole in it just so the intake could fit, with the carb all I will need is one small hole. I would like to get my hands on a Pathfinder intake and make an adapter for the carb and see how high it is. I have also thought about just building an intake form scratch but I would rather not.
