	Hello folks, I have a confession, I'm confused. To start with, whats known. What i have is a 1987 305ci carb motor, with the CCC(computer controlled carb) with EGR, AIR recirculation etc. What i want to do, throw all the EGR, smog etc curse word away. What do i need? Well it seems i need and inlet a carb and suitable dizzy, so i can just junk the computer controlled bits. There are SO many combinations available for these engines i don't know where to start, can anyone reccomend a decent daily drive set up in laymans terms and maybe advise of a supplier they have had some good results with? I cant get the standard one to run right without flooding and being MEGA rich, which is not helpful on the wallet

	Usual popular combination is an Edelbrock manifold, Holley carb and Mallory dizzy. Thats not going to be light on the wallet though. What about going for used standard older model stuff before the emmisions control really kicked in?

	Hmmmmm, ive now calmed down. I think the first step will be see-ing if i can get it running right on the CC quadrajet. Ive been watching lots of youtuibe vids on how to rebuild and set them up. Although, shiny new bits do seem appealing too, damn, decisions.
