Welcome to the site man. What kinda engine is in that beast? And yanno, the best mod you could do for that engine is to forget using a carb and going Fuel Injection.

Its got a 305 i belive i was told its a 283(someone put another moter in) but i think its actually a 305 and as for the carb i cant currently afford to go that route the wiring would have to be changed an all that its got unilug ar wheels on it 15s in the back 14s in the front i love the way it looks but the a hole who owned it last cut the rear brake lines to burn off the rear wheels an now i have to fix all that the car is black the interiour is rough but im fixin it up i love the car my current daily driver is a 94 cavalier but its bein sold soon as i get the firebird ready. soon as i can ill post pics i seriously love this car its like my dream car went to bleed the rear brakes today an found out the master cylinder is apparantly rusted inside from havin no line on it the previous owner just toke the line off an didn plug it or nothin. the car is real solid tho no rust through or anythin like that the headlight moters still even work like new seats were crap i changed them out with some from a 95 grand am today i cant do to much till next weekend tho cuz i work 6 am to 430 an so no major stuff will be done till then but ill keep yall updated i cant wait till i get her on the road tho

Well in that case just keep her on stands for a while and build up yourself a nice 350. You'll be glad you did that. 305s are good truck motors, but honestly do not belong in a Fbody.

I disagree, 305s or poor truck motors. Not only is the motor weak, but the trucks usually come with 3.08 gears.
