hello all,
I'm Marty. I just bought a pretty clean 3rd gen 88 formula and definately want to go carb, im not into the whole trying to tune a tbi system. i know i need distributor, intake mani, carb, adj fpr w/ return line. what else might i need? basically what all do i need to convert to carb?

also i have no idea what distributor to run so can someone please shoot me some part numbers so i can look them up on summit. also i wasnt sure what dist gear i would need iron or steel as i have no idea if these are roller motors or not. once carbed and properly tuned for the cam will any of the shelf SBC cam work?

Thanks
m

hopefully this will help you out.

 

it helped a lot. still curious are these roller motors or flat tappets? and will basic SBC cams work? what type of distributor gear do i need, or does it matter? thanks

 

your motor is a hydro rollor cam if it is an 88 motor.

 

ok thank you do you have any idea what distributor i need for a carb swap? tried asking above and got no answer

 

The distributor need vacuum and mechanical advance. There are a lot of choices out there that meet that requirement.
