Check out the Edelbrock TBI STB. It may not clear your intake if you have the dual snorkel.

The Edelbrock TBI STB should fit unless you have air-conditioning. It won't clear the driver side compresser mount bracket. I had to go with the Jamex STB.

Does anyone know where a upper strut-tower brace for a 92 camaro with a 3.1 V6 could be aquired? The car has A/C, if that makes any difference.

Sorry, I wouldn't go along with the above Mod. That support rod is there for a reason, you may not see problems right away, but something will start cracking in the future. If you could mod the bracket to accomodate that support rod I'd say go for it.

Jamex doesn't make their STB anymore. I picked mine up thru the classifieds on this site. You may try posting a parts wanted.

I didn't mention this above but the Jamex is only a two point brace.

Yes, but your AC compressor is on the passenger side, not the driver side like the '84.
