carb intake

I bought a edlebrock intake for my 91 z and I cant get the 4 middle bolts to line up with the hole I think the intake is too small but not sure is there an adapter kit I can get for it?? or do i need a new intake altogether??


thanks steve

'87-later intake manifold center two bolt holes on each side are at 72 degrees.

Most likely your carb intake manifold is '86-earlier, where all of the bolt holes are at 90 degrees.

Either get an '87-later intake, or elongate the bolt holes in the intake until the bolts fit.

I have the exact same situation. Im still not really clear on how to "adapt" the old intake. I want to put a Edelbrock performer RPM intake (for carb) for '86 and earlier on my 88' TBI heads. Is that alright? would i just slot the holes or something?
