Like j9fd3s said bolts right up. Why dont you just rebuild it though? It just 30.00 bucks for the rebuild kit and takes a day, plus you will have the satisfaction of knowing you rebuilt it yourself. Check out www.sterlingmetalworks.com

the 79 carb ive heard is better from a performance stand point. I believe it has two mixture adjustments.
