carb

I have my 1987 camaro 4 bbl stock 305. My original carb with is my rochester quadrajet is giving me some problems. I want to put a holley carb on here. What is the best carb to put on here? And will i have to change the intake? Im not using it for racing just for a daliy driver.

I vote for retaining the Quadrajet as well.

Re: carb

Gonna have to agree w/ fixing the Q-jet, get it rebuilt, and you'll be surprised how well it works. That carb is 25 yrs old i am sure it needs some attention. I run a Holley, but I have a built performance motor, on a stock 305 w/computer keep it original....
