I am in the process of putting my engine back into my car. It has been about 15 months since i took it apart and i upgraded from a stock cast 455 intake to the edelbrock performer.

I have noticed a few differences in the intake manifolds and for the life of me i cannot remember how i took this stuff apart. I have a Quadrajet going onto the Edelbrock performer manifold. Does anyone out there have a plumbing diagram for this combination or maybe just a picture so i can see what goes where all from the carb to manifold, and distributor to manifold?

I also have the original air intake that i would like to use unless my new setup is too tall for the hood. I need to know where those hoses from the OAI air intake hook into the engine as well. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have the CSM for your car? It shows the routing for the vacuum lines. What year is this? I'm assuming it's a 442 since you're describing OAI components.

I plumbed both the vacuum modulator as well as the power brakes direct to manifold vacuum ports. That was the biggest issue I had. I am not using an OAI setup yet, but everything else was pretty simple. The vacuum advance on the distributor went to a port on the quad.

My biggest headache was more the brackets for the power steering pump, A/C, etc.
