Those MR-Gasket adapters are horrible! You may have to make all kinds of mods and fill areas with JB weld to prevent leaks. It would be better to just drop a 1406 Edelbrock on it.

What intake are you using? If you have a 2-hole intake, you can use a good (not Mr. Gasket) two to 4BBL adaptor, but if you have a four hole intake, you're just setting yourself up for a major headache.

That Mr-Gasket thing is the piece of garbage I was talking about above. Which manifold do you have, a two hole or a four hole??? You have said both now which is it???

run a q-jet, they are just as good offroad as the mtrcraft....but you will have teh benifits of a 4bbl as well

for an adapter, try sum-g1406, or trd-2065, or mor-64966

those are part #'s from summit

i thought about runnung a q-jet but i was worried with the aspect of tunning it and the gas mileage. the intake has 2 holes in it. and will summit take my holley back.

ok i got the 2150 on but where the heck does the vacume advance and the pcv valve hose go.
hopefully the only 2 vacume lines in need besides the booster wich i have hooked on the manifold.


completly off topic but how many miles should i put on my motor before i take it to the woods.

thanks
matt
