A little more. You need a vacuum advance distributor too.

Re: convert to carb?
Up to '85 on the S trucks, but there were some cars with the 2.8 also. I don't think it would matter if they were front wheel drive or not. Might be a specialty junk yard that would have something that old.
Looks like Chuck & Eddies in Southington has an '85 for $300 Last edited by SH-60B : 06-30-2009 at 12:48 AM. |
