Tree-fiddy? For oem 6 pack ? Maybe 1200-1500, plus linkages, plus carbs etc etc.

it was a joke...

i bought a complete set up minus the air cleaner about a year ago for around 3K and i thought that to be a very fair deal-- it was an OG manifold and included all the linkage.

intakes are usually in the 500ish range and on up for #'s units and then you have the carbs, figure another 1K plus (obvs. more if the #'s be what they need to be) then linkage and an air cleaner.

The TQ & QJ are great carbs, but no longer available new or with a jetting kit.

I would use a dual plane 4 bbl intake such as the Performer [ not the RPM ] with the Edel 600 #1400. This has an elec choke & is jetted for max economy. It also has all the reqd ports: ported & man vacuum, PCV, brake booster.

To best utilise the features of HEI, use an E core coil such as MSD #8207, no bal res.

Use 0.060" plug gaps.

sure. if the system is in tip top shape and dialed in.

however, you'll likely gain nothing from it and just wear out the ignition components faster.

stick with 45 and you'll be fine.
 
Yes, you will be fine with 060 gaps with the low compression engine. GM specified 080 gaps for some engines.

Sure, with crappy parts store wires, cap and rotor, run .060 gaps. Let's see how long that lasts.
