I was told 16 x 8 wheels will put extra stress on you strut towers on an 82 Trans Am. So I need an stb that will work with my carbed LG4 with an open element.

Here are 2 pics I have that look like they will clear everything. Oh I was also told that a hotchkins stb and edelbrock didn't clear the hood on an 82.

 

Here's the second one.

 

Edelbrock.

 

I don't know about pic #2, but that top one looks like a George Lara custom STB to me.

 

For the second one?

 

yup

 

the first one is a G.L.P (George Lara) since it is the same one I have on my '82 Z

 

I'm sure the second one is a Kenny Brown- I've got one just like it on my TPI car. It is a very stiff STB, but makes is difficult to work on the engine- you have to take the STB off to pull the distributor.

 

The second one doesn't quit look like the edelbrock one to me. Here is what mine looks like.

 

This looks just like the Edelbrock one, but it has a drivers side air compressor.

TransAm,

The above STB appears to work with a dual snorkel air box. Is this your car? If not, where'd you locate the pic? Is this an Edelbrock?

I found it at some guys webpage. He's on the boards. I tried to e-mail him, but the message wouldn't send. I'll get the name soon.
