Will new Carburetor & Intake (Non EGR) effect automatic transmission operation?
1984 Trans Am with the LG4, stock 4bbl. Looking to replace my worn out Qjet with a Holly or Edelbrock Carb. & Intake set (without EGR). Does anyone know if this will seriously effect the geometry of my automatic transmission cable and damage my transmission? I'd like to get a manual transmission in the next 4 years. Any other cons to upgrading my stock engine with a better carb and intake? Will EGR delete create a timing issue? Hit me with it.

If you go with the Holley, get this TV cable correction bracket.

Then be sure to follow the proper adjustment procedure.
