strut tower Brace

I am looking for a strut tower brace for my 85 Iroc. It has a carb on it. Has anyone installed one before? which ones seem to be good? thanks

Re: strut tower Brace

Edelbrock sold their brace/design to QA1. For a look at the Edelbrock/QA1 brace installed, check my vbGarage (shedlike icon next to my online status).
More info below.

Re: strut tower Brace

Remember that with the OE carb/accessory equipment still in place, the above STB won't fit, if the car has a driver's side AC compressor.

articwhiteZ,
Love your car !!!
thank you ronusmc
Semper Fi.

going to have to see what one will work.. car was TPI
now a single plane EFI With elbow,Cog Drive, V1 Ttrim, power steering and alt only. so no AC. NOTHING ON PANGR SIDE BUT DELET PULLYS.
so you cant see the AFR 220 elmtr heads.. but the NOS plate stands out still...lol
(only set on stun).. paid the $1100 For the 6 pinon planet for the tranny,making the gears close to a th400..
leaving the 5 pinon planets. also did the big bad, front drum upgrade.
so i can keep the tranny alive.
