After many trials I found the right combination. I rebuilt the Q-jet 800 CFM that came with the motor but found out that the TV cable didn't seem to work right with my 700R4. Others probably found success making their own setup for linkage but I needed to be sure it would work right so I bit the bullet and just went with Edelbrock. I got the Edelbrock performer intake on Craigslist for $30 and the Edelbrock carb is easy to change springs, rods, and for the most part jets and it doesn't leak gas all over.
My car is anything but for the purist, however, at least I put a Pontiac motor in it cause I bought a Chevy 350 to drop in. I just couldn't bring myself to do that to such an iconic car.
