Re: carb help

Edelbrock sells a bracket. Here is a link to the page. http://www.edelbrock.com/automotive_...throttle.shtml
By reading Edelbrock's website, I don't think you need an adaptor. You can set the carb on the intake and open the throttle. If the throttle blades clear the manifold you should be ok.

Re: carb help

I'm assuming the Performer carb. is a square bore, is the intake for a square bore or spread bore carb?

I'm thinking if the PO used the adapter with the Holley, which was most likely a square bore, then the intake must be for a spread bore and then yes, you would need to use the adapter.

Re: carb help

You will not need an adapter on your Performer intake.
