Hi Jim,
Neither do most of us, unless required to use electronic fuel
injection for SMOG purposes. We go so... much quicker with the Holley
850 double pumper: http://www.----------.com/holleySite.jpg
Or 750 CFM they chose to dyno this create motor:

Well, I called Advance Adapters and the gear's on the way. They said that
I'd need to do "extensive" modifications. Possibly to the firewall and
floor pan. Does anybody have any experience with this? Will it fit without
