Buy the Holley, no point in having 1982 technology.

If you have an 82 LEAVE IT ALONE....It is an EXEMPLARY system that was installed on MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of GM vehicles. With 40-50 year reliability.
I have one and it's running PERFECTLY 38 years later.

If you have a carb...the Holley system is good.

The 82 Cross-fire system has a Z-28 type manifold with CROSS-RAM tubes....the left throttle body has ONE big fuel injector serving the right side of the engine and vice-versa. It adjusts A/F ratio 80 times a second.

No it does not have 8 injectors. It has two throttle body injectors.
