I've never seen a 1st gen automatic, but I would imagine that they work similar to other carbed autos in that they have linkage hooked up from the carb to the trans so that when your cruising in a high gear / low rpm and you step on it, the tran will downshift. Without the linkage the trans will probably downshift real crappy.

BTW, since no one mentioned it 600CFM carb is a little big for a 13B street port.. it is more suited for a bridge.. It will work, but drivability might not be that great..


If you want a holley, look for a RB tuned 550CFM carb, they work fairly well.. OR go with a 48IDA or other appropriatly sized webber.
