i joined this lovely site because the help i've already found just looking through past threads. The problem is, the car isn't an olds, its a 1977 base pontiac grand prix with a stock olds 5.7 350. it came from the factory that way(wierd year for gm). anyways, im doing some upgrades and need advice from you fine gentlemen. I bought a edelbrock 600 performer carb and an old edelbrock OL4B (with no crack in the heat riser). should this fit? can i use replacement stock intake gaskets? do i need to use silicone sealer too? and should i buy new intake bolts? thanks again for letting me join.

 

Welcome to the site. I am not sure on your question but someone else should be able to help.

 

They should fit, you may have to massage some of the linkage depending upon the carburetor that was on the engine originally. Welcome to CO.

 

thanks olds guy, i know i need the get a throttle cable/kickdiwn bracket that i can adjust further forward. any suggestions as to which one might work anyone? oh the old carb was a Q-jet
