If nobody answers you, try calling the places and just asking. You can hopefully find your answer thru a search. Maybe even look on www.fquick.com under your type of car and check out the engine bays. The 3 point one as you ask about I have only seen a few of them, they are nice. I have the SLP one.

Check out this thread. The guy named GregP 7th post down, has a 2002 Camaro SS with a edlebrock STB. You could always contact him if all else fails. Or we could just keep bringing this thread to the top until everyone gets sick of seeing it!

I searched all over the web today for you man and only came up with the 2 point style. Which Edelbrock did you find? All the ones they offered that I saw didn't fit the SS..

Yeah I would give Edelbrock a call after the 5th of Jan when they re-open (310-781-2222) to make sure the 5229 fits. On some of the web sites that are selling this it says this particular one may require some modifying of the hood. Last thing you want is to take a sawzall to it

yeah thats true lol...thanks for the heads up...the one guy on here has one i think so some first hand experience would be nice...once guy had one on his car but he said the middle point was never bolted on and didnt have to be...sounds like the 3 point is worthless (well as useful as a 2 point) if the middle one isnt bolted in...

I would just order up a 2 point and call it good. You wouldn't notice anything between running the 2-point vs 3...plus you will save a little $$ too

i can get the edlebrok 3point i like for about 120-130...2 points range from 70-200 and up but most are bout 119 from any decent companies..i figure if its only 10 or 20 bucks its works it as long as it fits and doesnt take forever to get the mid point bolted in
