What parts wouldI need if I want to get rid of fuel injection and run a 4 bl carb?
What manifold, carb, distributor would I use?

As far as I know, only Edelbrock still makes carburetor intake manifolds for the 2.8 V6. The carb choice is up to you, but the Holley 390 cfm seems to be a popular choice. And you can get a vacuum advance distributer from an older Chevy S10 with a 2.8 V6.

Edit to add: you'll also need a lower pressure fuel pump. The stock V6 fuel pump puts out WAY too much pressure for a carburetor. The Fiero 4-cyl fuel pump should work.

Look for parts for the 70's and early 80's Camaro or El Camino. My brother in law had an El Camino with a carbed 2.8. I think the heads were the same, other than the smaller valves, so the ports should match up.

I think the carb'd V6 engines only had 2-bbl carbs.
But the distributors can be used from them.
