1970 Camaro Z28 Carb Question

[MosportGreen66]

I am going against grain and will install an Edelbrock Carb with an electronic choke with a performer intake. Friend had the carb brand new, just sitting and he basically gave it to me.

I did a lot of homework trying to find a Q-Jet carb with the correct intake, coil, and distributor too. But after being quoted $1000+ for items that APPEAR to be original, I figured I was better off buying new parts for a fraction of the cost, with warrantees if something goes wrong. That price did not include gaskets, bolts, sealants, paints, and cleaners too (basically all the little details).

I did not want to buy anything NEW for this car. This WAS my vintage project. I guess I blew it. But since I drive it so much, 6000 miles now in 2 years, I think I made the right choice.

Regardless if the parts are correct looking Q-Jet parts, or newer Edelbrock items they are NOT original. This is my driver, time to have fun!
