I'm thinking of changing my carburetor. and want to know what other carburetors a 5.0 HO Dual Snorkel Air Cleaner will fit ?

Well, all 4bbl carbs share the same diameter air cleaner flange, but that doesn't mean you can just drop a QJet air cleaner onto a different style of carb.

I am not certain, but I am fairly sure NOT and Edlebrock/Carter. Holley possibly but I wonder if the fuel inlet valve nuts front and back would hit on the underside of the assy. Might be easily solved with an air cleaner spacer or just a really thick air cleaner gasket (Mr. Gasket sells one).

Edelbrock/Carter - yes

Holley dual feed - no

Holley single feed - yes

Now, the really dumb question: Why are you thinking of changing your carburetor?

you have the best street carburetor ever designed on the car now- why change it? but if you are going to change it, go to a non electronic quadrajet with an electric choke, which is literally a bolt on replacement..

The non-computer quadrajet will use the same four bolts to the intake manifold as the factory computer quadrajet, but it is hardly a "bolt on replacement".

fuel line hooks up... brake booster line hooks up... pcv line hooks up... throttle cable and tv cable hook up.. choke coil plugs right in...
what am i missing?
unless you're talking about the need to change the distributor, too, but that's a given since he's asking about what other styles of carbs the air cleaner will fit on and the distributor will need to go no matter which one he settles on..

I want to keep my carb. that i have now but it seems to be running rich. I have to find some one that knows how to tune it. I found a guy that used to work for gm yrs. ago. Going to bring it to him to look at it but I think something other is wrong with the motor. it sometimes smokes when i start it might be the valve seals. the car had a valve job. done at 63000 mi. and it has 88000 on it now. just don't seem right. so if it don't work out for me im going to put a turn key 383 stroker from Smeding Performance in the car and I have a chance to Buy a duel air cleaner and i want to know if it will fit because i like the looks of them.

novaderrik

what carb do you have now?
if it's a quadrajet (and it should be. every street car should have a quadrajet) then it will fit... if it's not, then it might not..
