I doubt they still sell it but you can probably find the part numbers, and then get a chip burned.

I had a Compucam emmisions cam and Edelbrock headers in my 84 (305HO) and the stock carb feed it fine with only a few mods. There is a book ( I once had - Justin? ) that about modding Q-jets, some of the simply tricks work wonders!
The HPBooks Rochester Carburators book has a bunch of this stuff.
