If you are not modifying the engine internally, get a Performer manifold and 500 cfm Edelbrock carb. And get your distributor checked out on a machine.

if you are planning future upgrades, get a performer rpm intake and 600cfm edelbrock carb to go with the tri-y headers. that will cover any future mods with in reason.

if no future upgrades then a performer intake with a 500cfm carb to go with the tri-y headers.

I pretty much agree, but my suggestions would be:
If you are planning future upgrades,get a performer rpm intake and Holley 570cfm Street Avenger carb to go with the tri-y headers. That will cover any future mods with in reason.

If no future upgrades then a performer intake with a Holley 570cfm Street Avenger carb to go with the tri-y headers.

An Edelbrock Performer 289 intake is a great starting point, though if you're upgrading further a Performer RPM intake isn't a bad way to go. I run the Performer 289 with a Carter (Edelbrock) 600cfm carb with great driveability, response, and power, and am averaging 17,9mpg over the last two months since I got it properly tuned.

Ford A321 Intake topped with a Holley 570 Street Avenger. Or a Weiand Stealth intake. Or the Edelbrock RPM. All will work with what you have now.

I'm with D Hearne. 570 SA and a Stealth (or Performer RPM). It's mostly personal preference though.


Of course knowing nothing about the car, you may want to think about a gear change first. If you're running a 2.79 open rear and a C4...

Don't forget the distributor, I'm not kidding how important that is.

I'm currently running a Holley 4160 600 CFM and an Edelbrock Performer 289 intake... does OK all though I've just ordered an Air Gap intake and EFI upgrade. You can see my signature for a link to my dyno results from a few years back.

Best of luck...
