No. Don't get that one. Get the Holley Truck Avenger 670 if you don't want a DIY or Lars-rebuilt Q-Jet

Yes.

I have one for sale on this Forum, from a running 79 L48 Auto, with Cliff's rebuild kit. If that one works for Lars, LMK, and I can drop-ship it to him, with or without Cliff's kit.

That's a nice '79 carb.

I'll bet the OP is missing all of the hot air choke tubes/pieces, too, and we're assuming he has the original GM intake manifold with the hot air provision...

Thank you guys so much for all your help. For now my plan is to get the electric choke I’m gonna find a key on hot wire and tap into that or just run to the fuse box. And then for my carb situation the small performer runs okay for now. I have a whole list of other parts that I must fix first and restore. Then I will come and get a carb.

thank you all!!!
