Re: Going back to factory intake and carb
Just watch out for some of the older stock 4 BBL intakes that need a metal shim under the carb as the exhaust heat passages can come up through the top of the intake and the shim blocks the exhaust from entering back into the intake. Great carb heat for clod climates but a little too great for any kind of performance. I found one of these as a kid and was a bit puzzled by it but with all the right parts it worked fine. Id stay away from the later intakes with EGR and set up for divorced choke unless you are planning on using a a later divorced choke Q-Jet. I'd just paint the intake a swap the carb. The later divorced electric choke Q-Jets are an excellent carb.
