Carburetor Problems
I'm tired of messing with my Qjet and am thinking of an Edelbrock. Do all Edelbrock Performer Series require an adapter plate, and if so, are there any adapters thin enough to allow the carb to be installed and still have no hood clearance problems? Ops, almost forgot, 1970 350/300 stock.

Which model Edelbrock?
Personally I think they are over priced
If you really want to give up on thr QJet (Which I wouldnt recommend) I would go with a Holley Street Avenger
Bolts right up to the Performer Intake........ great carb
Which intake are you using?

Seeing that we have no idea which intake manifold Apocolips is using it's impossible to give accurate information until we have this information.

Or a square bore with an adapter plate.

Right.
What's the shortest adapter plate available now?

Thanks everyone. I really appreciate the advise. After talking to the folks at Edelbrock I have decided to stay with a Qjet. The only way that I could get a Performer Series Edelbrock to fit under my hood would have been to replace the intake and right now the budget well not allow that.
Again thanks to everyone and have a great weekend!
