TBI to Carb question

Ok, I've finally decided on a stroker kit from Scroggins Dickey, but I want to convert my non-responsive TBI unit to carb. What sort of carb should I be looking for to make this swap? All of this is going in a block from an '84 vette. Thanks.

Muzz

Your wise expertise would be appreciated. :hail:

Dont have to do all the adjustment of previous holley carbs. This is a bolt on and go carb. Seem like Billy Gates gave holley a little insight with plug and play.

but what am I looking for? mechanical secondaries? electric or manual choke? I'm looking for a balance between ease of use and performance... so ease of tunability is a factor...

I would get mechanical secondary manual choke.

I am running a Speed Demon 750 CFM Carb on my monte and I love it to death. I could really tell a difference between that and my old carb. The throttle response is outstanding!

You could run electric on yours, but it would be a lot easier to do manual

Would everything would run off the distributor with an electric choke? any extra work involved in a manual choke carb?
