Looking to buy strut tower brace for my carbed 350 (84 T/A). The ones I found at bmr was for TPI only. Where can I find this part?

The above is the one I use. Note, however, that it won't fit if you have the AC compressor on the driver's side.

Re: strut tower brace - where?
On an unmodified car, there's a brace from the rear of the compressor to the intake manifold, which obstructs the STB. Your car also appears to have some sensors in the water neck that might be problematic. You might check the following pic for a reference:
