What Holley will bolt to my stock manifold in my 1986 Z28 Camaro?

I am subscribing to this thread because I have the same question and also want ot know the same about Edelbrock.

The Holley 4165 and 4175 series spreadbore carbs are about the only new replacement that will bolt to a stock manifold.

That begs the question: Why would you replace the carb if you're keeping the stock manifold? The carb is absolutely the last upgrade that has any performance benefit on these cars.

86NiteRider: With regard to your thread hijack, depends upon what Edelbrock manifold. The Performer manifolds have both square and spreadbore mount patterns. The Performer RPM spreadbore will also mount either type.

The carb thats on there now is junk. Want to put it on there now till i get my new motor rebuilt. Because its my daily driver.

I guess I'd want more information before declaring the carb DOA.

Basicly I'm going to buy a new holley for the motor that i'm rebuilding anyway. And the one thats on there is acting up and dont have the time to mess around with rebuilding it.

Are you planning on putting on a different intake manifold for the new engine?

If so, then I'd suggest a Holley, intake manifold, distributor, TV corrector bracket, and TCC lock-up that will be suitable for the new engine. It'll be more work than rebuilding your carb (assuming that's what's wrong with it), and some of it will have to be done over on the new engine (like intake manifold gaskets).

Get a holley
----------
Installing an intake manifold takes a long *** time and you need so many little parts and brackets and plugs but I'd say rebuilding a carb is alot harder unless youve done it a few times. If your using an edelbrock manifold with a holley carb you will need to get a low profile plug or low profile 90* vacuum port that will work underneath the 1/2 inch edelbrock gave us also you might need new manifold bolts becuase the stock ones with the flange wont fit on one of the edelbrock screw holes bacuase the wall of the manifold gets in the way (I don't know if anyone else had this problem but I did and had to get a new bolt to fit in there.

Yes I'm going to use a new intake just dont know what kind. The motor I bought came with a holley street dominator intake on it. But it looks like it will be to tall buy the time I get the carb and air cleaner on it. The motor I'm building is going to be pretty much stock motor. I just going to put a big cam in it and run the stock 1.94/1.5 heads for now. Any sugestions on cams be helpful. Will get new heads later for a little more horsepower.
