Re: from tpi to carb intake question
first off why hate tpi. properly set up i think it would be better than a carb on that engine. and if memory and a friends advice that is not a very good intake at all. and the center holes will have to be either slotted or cut out to fit the newer engine since the center holes are at a different angle. in imho you are going backwards. what is wrong with the tpi

Re: from tpi to carb intake question
You need alot more than just intake. You need carb, intake, Mallory 4309 fpr, vac advanced distributor, TV cable corrector for carb linkage, TV cable, method for TC lockup, throttle brackets, and another $100 in misc stuff to tie it all together!

Re: from tpi to carb intake question
might be a warped intake. thats what my problem was on my first tpi when i went to HSR. make sure its not a autozone or any other auto parts store fuel pump. i went thru 10 before i finally bought a walbro 255. but on the intake it had no signs of being warped. just had alittle vacuum leak i could never find til i took it off a third time to get rid of it.
