I have ben told the Edelbrocks don't fit onto Firebirds because of hood clearance problems (I have an Edelbrock 3pt TPI STB). Your best bet for a Firebird is to use the BMR 2pt brace- Some have to shim up the mount points so it is just slightly higher over the TB.

I have a BMR STB and it works just fine. I fabricated some shims for both sides in order to clear my A/C. I have a 3.1L.
