Ayuh,... What motor you're workin' on would be Nice....

If you're using the Edlebrock Carb,+ Manifold package,...
I Doubt you need any sort of Adapter plate...

If you have a spreadbore manifold (Like the Edlebrock Performer) and are putting on a square bore carb (like, ironically enough, the Edlebrock Performer) you MIGHT need an adapter. There is usually enough "meat" to make a good seal, but sometimes not. Basically, bolt it on and take a look and see if it seals well enough.

You have a square bore manifold and carb - in fact it looks like a Performer RPM Air Gap manifold.

You only need the four mounting studs at the corners. The center stud will go from the carb to the flame arrester and has nothing to do with the manifold.

And i guess i will ask will i need that attachment or just a gasket

All you need is the gasket.

Re: Carburetor ?

Ok Now that i have my carbuerator Covered I have a fuel pump ? I have a 454 Serial number 10114182.. I think it is a Gen V.. It does not have a spot for a mechanical fuel pump so i am assuming i have to go electric? I have checked the block over and did not see a block off plate or anything that wouldresemble where a mechanical fuel pump would go... Can someone help me find the right electric fuel pump.. I am sure just any ole one want work
