Many Thanks again for any ideas or suggestions! |
The Edelbrock TBI intake sucks and adding a carb adapter to it will only make it worse if you could even find an adapter to put a carb onto it.
If you are dead set on going to a carburetor I would get a new carb intake for the center bolt heads. You may be able to find a used one but I don't believe Chevy made very many of them. The only one I can think of is the 87 & 88 Monte Carlo & El Camino that were still running Q-Jet carburetors when everybody else went to TBI. There are aftermarket ones out there but aren't very common as a used item.
