I just wondering since I have a 4 barrel

1985 Camaro Z28
305
5-speed Transmission
Flowmaster Exhaust
4 barrel carb
8mm racing spark plug wires

 

Better fuel economy, smoother idles, yatta yatta. Obviously more complicated, though. If you've got a stock 4bbl Rochester carb I'd think of upgrading it to something better. The stock ones that came on thirdgens just left something to be desired. (Like airflow.)

Its not stock. The kid who owned it before me said it used to have a 2 barrel.

No that 4 bbl q-jet is stock. All carbed v-8 third gens came stock with 4 bbl. The only carbed third gens that came with 2 bbl carbs were of the 4 and 6 cylinder varieties. The stock q-jet CCC isn't that bad and gets okay economy(the real problems with those motors were the crappy heads, cam, and the exhaust system) when all the emissions/computer equipment, as well as the carb itself, are working properly. Problem is when these cars are 14+ years old, you start having all the problems heir to carburetion, along with all the mess of an overly complicated computer/emissions set-up. The problem compounds when a do-it-yourselfer who didn't what the hell he was doing started messing around with the set-up, as someone did with my firebird.

Yeah, that 2bbl wasn't stock, and there would have had to be a 2bbl intake as well.
