best be over all so that you know everything is going run right is get the racing beat intake manifold year specific for your car and the holley 600 or 650 carb mechanical secondaries. Those really great on the 12a's

Check your local parts store, Canadian Tire, etc., see if they can order a carb kit. Black Dragon sells them too, don't know how good they are though.

The 600 and 650 are WAY too big for a stock 12a. RB sells the 465 with vacuum secondaries for the stock port and street port 12a. you'll flood the engine with that. listen to the older members, like trochoid, and get a rebuild kit.
