intake

[3r!c84]

do the stock quadrajet 4bl fit on a performer RPM intake?
and what gaskets do i need ?

[dunnit]

not without a adapter plate....a regular performer will bolt up.

[3r!c84]

so the intake will bolt up but the carb wont?

[texasfunk]

yep, just buy an adapter plate at you local auto parts store, uns like 19.99

probably, but if you have all your other parts, just try autozone or oreilly
here it is on summit

but its almost twice as expensive

I think you can buy the RPM with a square flange (Holley) or spreadbore(quadrajet) flange so if you are going to but one , try to get the one you need .

doesnt matter, a stock manifold has the four holes, if your using a quadrajet, the adapter will work

out of curiosity why keep the quadrajet?

[79gmcc15]

probably his is working just fine and 20 dollar adapter plate is a lot cheaper then a 2-300 dollar new carb. but that's just a guess.

[Orange77]

i think the adapter plates are 40 at least thats what it cost me when i had to buy one when i put a carter on my stock intake before the surgery to the top end. just in my experience and what ive heard the eddy is way easier to work with and tune thats why i asked otherwise why fix it if its not broken unless you can afford to lol

[3r!c84]

i would like to keep it becuse its running good now.and the intake i got from a nabor for just one grass cutting.he says he has a carb for me but im still working off the last deal

[Orange77]

sounds like a pretty damn good deal lol i would do the same then get the carb and call it a day lol but just so you kno when you install the rpm intake you have to also install the rpm cam otherwise according to edelbrock it wont run correctly.

[3r!c84]

i dont believe that. yea but i still got 2 more cuts before the next deal
last one was 5 cuts and he would install a 3.42 pose

[Orange77]

i have the rpm set up and before i bought anything i asked at two speed shops in town and my mechanic who builds race cars and custom cars bout the cam and intake set up and they all told me the same thing bout needing the cam kit with the intake.
