is your distributor on the front side of your motor? I didn't know GM ever did that on a 350?

That's the thermostat hole..... I thought the same thing the first time i looked at the pic.

It looks like it has the 4 bolt holes for a Holley and or Edle/Quadrajet. Or is it the acctual 4 bore holes that is the problem. What if you use a spacer/adaptor. That would/should bring the carb up to give the butterflyes room. You would want an open bore addapter. AZ sells them. I'll show you next time I see you.

Sure is a different looking intake. What kind is it? Can't tell what it says.

Thats an Edelbrock C4B. It's got big runners that are similar to the Z28 intakes & it is from the pre-HEI days so HEI wont fit. You could try one of those small-cap HEI's that everybody seems to have nowadays. It's considered retro now...

wayfastwhitey · 04-08-2009, 11:56 PM

not trying to sell it, it was more of a coincidence, that's why i said it. my bad.

i bought the adapter today, 22.51 with the discount.

i don't beleive chevrolet ever had a front mount dizzy (atleast in a V8)

hopefully i wont have any clearance issues after the adapter is on. i don't think i will but if i do then idk what i'll do. i won't swap the intakes back, that's for sure, i cant afford any more gaskets. i spent my last dollar on the adapter so let's hope i don't need too many more parts to make this thing run

LOW DOUGH · 06-02-2009, 10:18 AM

so, were is it at now? What's going on with it. Did you get it started?

dfwright · 06-02-2009, 10:56 AM
