Ive had the Holley 650 as Terry mentioned. It is a straight bolt on unit to the Performer. Its pretty siimple and Holley has made a bazillion of them. My 1st 1 was on my 67 Camaro in 1973.

So what is gonna happen to the old Q-jet?

I have a Demon Carb. They call them "Holleys that work".  Love mine.

Just sayin'.

I had my q-bog rebuilt 3x by 2 different people.  It was bench tested before install.  This carb just stinks.  I changed to an E-brock performer and 650 carb.  The 81 really woke up AND you can close the hood.  I also changed the airfilter assm, valve covers and de-smogged as long as I was there.

So, these guys match up, right?

What do I need to know? What other parts will I need? etc.

Thanks!

Did someone say I'm gonna need one of these?


If so, how do I know which one I need?

Do I also need this thing?

Thanks.

Ok, so here is what I think I need:

Automatic Transmission Kickdown Stud (Do I need this?) http://www.jegs.com/i/Edelbrock/350/8018/10002/-1
Dual Throttle Return spring (Do I need this?) http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/15225/10002/-1
Air Cleaner that they are giving away: http://www.bigcarbdeal.com/

They're air cleaner doesn't see to sit inside a housing.  My current one does.  What do I do with the things that connect to my current air cleaner housing?

I'm excited but scared I won't know what the heck I'm doing.
