Thanks for letting me in the group. I just picked up a 85 I plan on fixing up over the summer.

Right now I'm planning on using a edelbrock performer (1406) carb with a matching manifold, an aftermarket ignition system and a full exhaust. But I tried putting this carb on this morning. I had to use a 1 inch spacer, kickdown adapter and throttle cable adapter. The spacer and kick down went on just fine, but the edelbrock throttle cable adapter is a different story. I will have to research that one a little more to see how it goes on.

Clean it really well and throw some tires on it and that would already look awesome. The color scheme is very nice and accents would be easy.
