A square flange Holley will not bolt to an 81 manifold. Hope this helps.

Do have the original carb from your 81? Is your car a stick? I would be interested in it if you have the original carb for my 81.

By the way, you dont have to change the dist. I have a carb from a 79 non computer car on my 81 and the computer dist runs fine with it.

Let me know on the carb, good luck.
