Stay tuned for AFTER.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

all you have to do is read this thread. i told you earlier get a 1ton front a 14bff rear.

build traction bars instead of that weird swingy block thing.

and get the best tranny you can afford.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Okay.

I see what you mean but even with traction bars the frame will hit the axle wont it
?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

no the traction bars catch the axle wrap and brace it against the leaf spring

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

All carbs have the same bottom right? So it does matter what manifold there is right?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Nope holley and carters have different "bolt patterns"

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

So on the Wieland Intake.. Will a Edelbrock Carb fit on it?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

the edelbrock (carter) has both the quadrajet (spreadbore) bolt pattern and the 4150 holley (squarebore) pattern so it will fit on either pattern

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

So your saying it will but the quadrajet wont fit on the wieland.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

it depends which weiand is it
if it is a street warrior then yes it will work

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Tah-dah

Oh yead dude. Theres already over 700 views on this thread!

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

nope the quadrajet will not fit without an adapter
thats what im using for now until i get another carb and i have a performer rpm edelbrock intake

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Should a 600 edelbrock carb fit on there?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

yep it sure will

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Is there anyway to make sure a carb works without hooking it up.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

not really i would go through it though these edelbrocks are really easy

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

What do you mean? rebuild it?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

yep

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

yes it will, it has both patterns.

you may need to lay a gasket on it to make sure the secondaries will clear the flange but a little time with a flad wheel or die grinder will solve that.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

The other set of holes you mean?

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

yes.

Re: 1980 chevy long bed!
 

Thanks man.
