Re: replacing a quadrajet with a used holley 600

There are kits made by Holley that can adapt almost any linkage to your Holley carb.

That Holley you have is a model 1850 square bore. To use it on the stock spread bore intake manifold, you will need an adapter. Which you have to be careful, as many adapter has caused wicked vacuum leaks.

You will also need a carb stud kit. The stock bolts for the Q-jet won't work as well.
