Hi i am new here and i wanted to introduce my self my name is Sergio. i have a 1972 dodge charger with a 318 2bbl carb.

I am trying to install a 4bbl carb on the stock 2bbl carb manifold. I was interested in using  thishttp://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=MRG%2D1933&N=700+4294925239+4294848589+115&autoview=sku
the thing is i dont know the bolt pattern on the manifold and i dont have the care here with me at the moment. Do you think it will fit the manifold. or does anyone know the bolt pattern for a 2bbl 318.

p.s i wanted to install a edelbrock performer carb

thanks in advance

Don't do what you're thinking of doing.  It will be a waste of a lot of effort.  Wait until you can install the proper 4 bbl intake as well.

unless you are in another country, your local parts store will have a 2bbl carburetor for around $75.00

EVEN ON ANOTHER COUNTRY... down here they are extremelly easy to find.

but a 4bbl upgrade won't be hard either. you can go with stock manifold without problem.

Even stock manifolds for a 318 are around $40 or less at any swap meet.
