You will have to look on the carb and get the numbers on it and then go to the Edelbrock website.
will a 4 barrel edelbrock fit both chevy or ford with 4 barrel manifolds
If you have an edelbrock carb, remove the top of the carb, flip it over and there you have em! 2 floats! should be about 5/16 from the top of the carb i believe
I would get an Edelbrock performer 4bbl. intake manifold with a Edelbrock 600 CFM. carb, summit racing has everything you need. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Holley 650 double pumper for the win!
around 220hp i would say
Or from autozone you can buy a quadra-jet to standard adapter plate if you don't have that edelbrock or if you have a holleythe intake manifold is hopefully what youre talking about and the answer is noAnsweryes you can. if you have a stock intake manifold, which uses a quadrajet carb, you can use edelbrock part number #2696 which you can buy from summit racing (www.summitracing.com). it allows you to use an edelbrock performer square bore carb on the stock quadrajet manifold. for that motor i recommend the edelbrock #1406 which you can also get from summit.
A 2-plane manifold such as the Edelbrock Performer or similar would be a good choice.
You need to match more than the cam and heads. The easiest way is to buy a dyno-matched set. Edelbrock sells dyno matched kits and will even tell you what cc carb will maximize the performance of the matched set. You can have too big of a carb for your motor.
unless you are willing to install the ecm and wiring harness,you will have to replace the distributor with a pre 1980 distributor. reason for this is to get vacuum advance. you also will have to replace intake manifold with a manifold for a carb. a edelbrock and a edelbrock carb work well for me. the rest should work. also use the exhaust manifolds from the 76. good luck
With the mods you describe I would suggest you start at about 10 to 12 degrees btdc. you may have to play with it to get it just the way you like it. Hope this helps. Mike

Im gonna say it will be fine, I have a 84 with a 307, just got a performer 600 carb with the 2711 performer intake! You should be good to go, its when you go higher. Although, they say dont go any higher than a 600 on a stock 350 olds :/
(305 displacement x 5250 rpm) divided by 3456 = 463 cfm carburetor 500 cfm x 3456 divided by 305 = 5666 rpm I would say if you are just using the engine for the street, a 500 cfm carburetor is more than enough. Perhaps an edelbrock with an electric choke would work nicely. The carburetor is only supplying the fuel. A longer duration cam, say around 200 degrees at .050 might perk up the engine a little and still let you run vacuum for brakes and automatic transmission. You would just have to read what others have done and look at performance parts companys online and see what people say.
