New carb, new distributer?
I'm running a stock computer controlled quadrajet on my 1986 305 LG4, if i change my carburetor to an edelbrock 600cfm manual choke carb, will i have to change my distributer as well?

The computer itself is under the dash, above the passenger's feet.
What it takes to run it is all over - distributor, firewall, thermostat housing, carb, etc.

easiest? don't swap carbs, just fix whatevers wrong with that one, probably something minor.
Otherwise, you'd need a run of the mill HEI distributor, that edelbrock carb, and you'd have to tweak a handful of other things on the car to get everything running right.
