Can just re drill and tap your TBI manifold to the 2 bbl bolt pattern.

While you are at it you can easily go to a 4 bbl with the Mr Gasket carb adapter. Then you will have the advantage of the secondaries and can still run on the 2 bbls if you keep your foot out of it.

Advanceautoparts has them too.

Pop a 1406 Edelbrock on it (with the 2 to 4 bbl adapter) that comes with an electric choke. They run so much nicer, and they don't leak gas like the factory 2 bbls do.

Just like pictured here:
