IDK what gear you have in the rear, but if it's numerically lower than a 3.70 I'd use a vac sec instead of a carb with mechanical secondaries. It will be much more snappy...

I have a 600 Edelbrock vac. sec. on mine, 'cause it was cheap & I got it from the junkyard I worked at. It seems to run well, but I would also probably go for a QJet for part throttle response and still have the extra cfm available. Having built a 383 with TBI and tuned it though, I plan on something similar for the Malibu when I have the money to. Programmable timing curves, and load fueling is more precise (though there isn't a major mpg difference between efi/carb).

Ok so after alot of phone calls, I think the hooker super comp headers are going to work, the black painted ones are $165 and ceramic coated are almost $400, I am on a budget but don't want rusty headers either. and are the gaskets they come with any good or should I ger a set of copper gaskets, and last thing is do you guys use the hex head header bolts thanks guys.

Where are you finding them for that price, whats the part number on them and what size is the primaries?

Don't spend a penny on Hooker's coatings. Go with a good aftermarket company like Nitro Plate...

Don't spend a penny on any mass market factory header coatings. Go with a good aftermarket company like Nitro Plate...

Ditto... the coatings on the Hooker headers I have on mine didn't even last until I started driving it. The car sat for a year or two after I put them on and it was starting to bubble before I even started driving it regularly.

Why, thank you, sir!

I'm calling Nitro Plate Wednesday for a coating quote for my super cheapo steal of the century uncoated, used Hooker 2241s. Got them for $150.00!! You can't argue with getting them that cheap & the coating will probably be around $325.00. You can't even get new painted 2241s for that!
