Carb, Intake recommendation & Distributor question
I'm getting a rebuilt 350 w/ large cam & TPI. I like TPI but I'm changing this car to carb. Anyways, I plan on using a Wieand Stealth 8170 intake, Holley 0-80783C (4150 650CFM w/ electric choke, vacuum), and if I understand correctly I must get a new distributor.
Does this look like a decent setup for street?
And if so can I use a distributor from a 305 w/ TBI? OR should I get a new GM 1104067 or will any old distributor work? I heard I can not use the same distributor that is on there w/ the TPI..

Re: Carb, Intake recommendation & Distributor question
you need a non-computer controlled HEI distributor with vacuum advance - the dizzy from the TBI car won't work. You can grab an Accel off the shelf brand new at AutoZone for $100.
Speaking of the Zone - you ever go to the cruise ins at the Zone in Pittsboro? (I'm in Cary)

One of these weekends if I ever get the evening off I'll have to cruise over there! I'll PM you next time I get a Sat night off and we'll hook up for a coke and a burger!

How "large"?
Wouldn't be my choice. I have no love lost for vacuum secondary carbs.
Need more details about the cam, what transmission (torque converter stall if automatic), gears, what kind of street driving you're talking about (daily commuting, cruise night, etc.).

There is vacuum secondary and then there is double pumper (mechanical), correct? I'm no carb expert buy I used to have a Holley 650 and really liked it, trying to get the same one again- it was not a double pumper..

Re: Carb, Intake recommendation & Distributor question
Do I use the stock coil with the hei distributor still? Also I'm on the same boat with not really knowing anything about carbs. I plan on puttin a heads, cam, and headers on my car in the future and I dont want to replace the carb, wut would be a good choice for me to get? This is my daily driver and I also race it too.
Thanks

I've always been a big fan of the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake. I don't know much about the Wieand stuff, I always use the Performer RPM. It's a little more expensive though.
I'll buy you the Wieand in exchange for the TPI off the engine.
