I think quadrajetparts.com has a 2 piece solution for you. A 1" extension plus an inverted flare to -8 adapter.

This is the link to the extension fitting:
http://quadrajetparts.com/rochester-...ing-p-436.html

Then you need this adapter - (available from other sources.)
http://quadrajetparts.com/rochester-...ing-p-370.html

I assumed that you were working with a Quadrajet carb. The search continues.

Dave - I think that combination would actually work on the Edelbrock quadrajet. It would be a little longer than my current fittings, but longer is much easier to deal with than shorter...thanks buddy!

I raced a G/SA Nova back in the mid '90s for a season or two.
P/G 350/255 It went high 11's with a very old school engine.

It did sixty foot very well for the et......low 1.50's so If I had that Camaro with a 3 speed and hi compression engine I would be looking for 60 foot times in the low 1.40's....

The hi compression engines were always tougher to make run fast relative to the low compression engines. HP difference was not realistic.

I still would like to have that car.....I like my dragster but still love Camaro stockers....Have fun...enjoy it...

This is what I use in mine with my Edelbrock Q-Jet

You can use a 45 degree AN fitting on your hose or use one of these if you already have a straight fitting.

Yeah Rich, I'm expecting drastic improvement this go. Pretty sure the very first pass last Saturday bent the perches at the initial hit and it was fighting a bad pinion angle all the way down the track...amazing it was able to muster a 7.21 in the 1/8 mile. My gut tells me this car should 60' at least a 1.48. I'll be tickled to death if it runs a 11.20 in the 1/4 mile.

E/SA and a good car is probably running 10.80 in decent air.

11.20 is a good start and MPH tells the tale on power. 115-116 is probably also a realistic number to expect. They tend to MPH pretty weak.....

Whatever it runs......do a little tricky math I do to gauge how it is running.

Multiply your ET by your MPH and see what number comes up.

1300 is weak on MPH and most stockers would run numbers in the 1300's or 1310's

Fast cars that run good MPH will be 1340 or higher

A very good balanced bracket car is in the 1330's....

It's just a factor number that can help gauge how well a car ET's vs MPH...and since Stockers ET very well vs MPH they will be at the low end of the scale...

Steep first gear.....low gear in the rear.....good for ET's ....
Restrictive cam,heads and intake manifold.....not good for MPH...


Fast bracket cars like my dragster will pick up 30+ mph on the back half......I run an average of 146 at the 1/8th and run 177-178+ with injection......

Stockers are fun but slow by comparison.....
