Hello so I bought a 85 camaro sport as a project 305 5.0 but I realized I don’t know jack s*** a bout cars so basically I’ve been learning through this car so bear with me I’m switching to a edelbrock eps intake and edelbrock avs2 carb i realized that there’s quite a bit of computer in the car so I was wondering what i need to do to run those parts new distributer ? Or a lot more?

 

You stated "I don't know jack s*** a bout cars" . Then why are you trying to out-engineer, the engineers who designed your car?

Why don't you just fix the equipment that GM put on hundred of thousands of 5.0 . Describe the problem/goal and folks here will try to help.

 

Very well put. Spot on advice.

 

My apology. I forgot to add:

"Welcome to thirdgen.org"! Please introduce yourself and your car!

can I just run a performer intake and buy a ccc qjet ?

 

What's on the car now? Standard or automatic transmission? An 85 with a working quadrajet is a pretty decent combination, especially with a 5 speed. .

 

it’s a automatic the only reason I was thinking about changing intake first I already have a new one and the other one has to come of either way it’s filled with rust

 

You can get an edelbrock intake for the spread bore quadrajet. Swapping to an edelbrock and new distributor wont be an upgrade for your car.

To do a computer delete you will need a new distributor and something to do tq converter lock up. Then you will also need a wide band O2 and gauge + vacuum gauge and rod / jet kit to tune the carb

 

yea so i ended up just putting on new intake m and had my qjet rebuilt but I’m starting to think usps lost it😭😭

 

Shipping right now is a mess seems like. Wife buys a lot of crap online and it's a daily gripe that stuff is lost or shown delivered and it's still getting shuffled around out there somewhere.
