cast iron intake question

I have a quadrjet factory intake, will this work with an eldebrock Carb or would it be better just to get an eldebrock intake? I have a quadrajet Carb too but I have heard they are hard to rebuild, and the eldebrock has to be rebuilt too.

Re: cast iron intake question

In order to use a square bore Edelbrock carb on that intake you will need an adapter. They stock them at most auto parts stores.

EDelbrock won't bolt on to that. You need an adaptor.
Get a new aluminum intake.
Or learn how to rebuild the quad.
Lots of info to help you if you need it.
Just ask!

The Q-jet is just as easy to rebuild as the Edelbrock. I would still get an aluminum manifold though. The Performer manifolds are getting plentiful on the used market.
