Jimmy, find a good 207 and use it, take the one off your 255 motor.

Am i missing something can you use a 207? It has been a while for me , But i didn't think you could do that. I thought you had to go back to the last year of none computer controled. Joe are you having a go at me.

Jimmy, why must you hurt me. The numbers do not matter it is the size, see the engine guide and it will give you the sizes on the bottom. You owe me a beer for hurting my feeling, very sensitive these days

Not only can you use the '207 Jim, but any Buick, Olds, Pontiac, Chevy, or Cadilliac that has a 1.093 primary venturi regardless of year with the exception of a 1971 Pontiac known as a single-booster which NHRA has deemed ilegal on any Chevy because it flows more than 750 CFM eventhough it does have the correct venturi size. Go figure. Hope this helps. Danny
