help deciding carb!

[83HighSierra]

ok in previous threads i was suggest to get a either a holley or edelbrock 600cfm carb. im ready to buy one but im not sure which one to get. if anyone can suggest a certain carb i would greatly appreciate it. a link to it would be perfect. here is all my engine info.

1995-00  350 bored .40 over with one piece rear seal
093 vortec heads with double valve springs
summit stage 3 dual plane intake #226019 non egr
and a th350 tranny

it currently has the carb from my old 305 and just cranks over and dies
any help would greatly be appreciated

Do you need a manual choke or a electric choke?  This is the one I would get:

I have ran Edelbrock carb's on all of my trucks with great results!  Also, if I am not mistaken, and correct me if I am wrong, but you can probably shop around and find a remanufactured carb for a little cheaper.

I would totally go with an edelbrock 600 or 650.

It should have come with a few studs to bolt to the carb linkage.

Try fabricating these pieces or adapting the existing studs from your Q-jet.  It shouldn't be too hard.  Just make sure they are good and secure.

Well you only need one of those two throttle studs, depending on what style cable you have.  Does the cable pull right off or do you have to remove a special clip before removing it?  Look at your Q-jet for a reference.

o..ok i see. it has the special clip that has to be removed then it comes off, so which of the two studs do i need. heres a pic of the quadrajet before i took it off.. o and my edelbrock doesnt have the little soleniod thing that the red wire is running to on it either.

If you want to use the Edelbrock stud, it's this one: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8009/
But I would replace that stupid cotter pin with a hair pin cotter.

And here is Edelbrock's answer to the idle bump solenoid: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8059/?image=large
As you can see, it's expensive, so I would simply fab up a bracket and reuse the factory solenoid.  If you do this, you can also integrate a nice place for the throttle return spring to attach.

ok so i got those two peices and now ive run into another problem... theres only one hole on the carb that i could one of them in..so what about the other peice. i circled it in the pic below
