I'm looking for a carb adapter then will mate to the 86-87 SFI lower intake manifold. The goal is to use a pre 81 carb and distributor to break in my 109 motor on an engine run stand. Posted here, thinking someone may know the size of the carb adapter I need t make it mount up.
 
Hi,

Not sure if this will fit under the Buick hood, but here is a picture of a version with 1" mr gasket adapter and a 5 mm aluminum plate under it to adapt the bolt patterns.
I haven't tested it yet, but hopefully the 5 mm plate is strong enough there. ...we'll see.

with 1979 Regal, the lower intake and the stock 79 distributor seems to cause a bit of clearance issues (second pic)
Basically I need to get the intake moving forward a few mm. So would need a smaller diameter distributor or need to cut the intake from couple of locations.

(let's see if I managed to get the pictures attached here)

Big HEI distributor caps always are very close to the intake. My distributor is not cut down and fits with Smokey Yunick's Weiand intake, I only remove one of the four cap locks to make it all work right and fit while having adjustment.
