Holley tbi 2.5 install

Ok... so the article I read said to use the Holley tbi I only need make an adapter plate but that’s all the info they give. Anyone have any kind of experience with this?

The machine shop that did our EGR adapters can probably make the adapter if you give him the intake and throttle body.  I saw one he made to adapt an engine and transmission, and it was really a thing of beauty.  He won't make things that have a safety factor like control arms but something like this isn't a problem.

I wish I had an 87-88 intake to prep for it so it’s a direct swap after prep. I can probably make the adapter but professional would be better.

It's a little drive, but the Augusta Pull A Part has an 88 Duke on the lot.  The manifold is $35.  It's highly unlikely that it has been removed. 

The car is also red if you should need any body parts.  Of course, they could be calling Medium Red (maroon) as red.  That might also give you a rear fascia that has a good black beltline molding.

That might be a good plan.

There is an earlier model at Encore in Jefferson, but I don't think that manifold is the same as the 88.  The car should go on the lot this week, according to my niece who works there.

Ok. I just ordered one off of eBay. Stupid cheap and worth the extra not having to drive or disassemble in the cold. Before you asked I did cross check to make sure it will work... it was an hour after I ordered it but I did eventually remember to do it. 😂
