I am doing some work on the existing POS 350 that is in the car right now.

I am installing an edelbrock EPS intake manifold i have had kicking around for awhile, and my Edelbrock 600 carb with electric choke.

I will also be installing my used hooker sidemount headers (new to me).

I will also begin tearing out the existing headlights in preparation for my Fgregg Racing kit to arrive (as soon as I order it) (Take that vacuum hell!).

So I need to procure:
Throttle stud for an edelbrock carb ($7 from summit)
Intake Gaskets
Vacuum hoses in a variety of sizes and lengths
2' of rubber fuel line
inline fuel filter
carb studs
gasket sealer
some Ramps
Chock Blocks
Header Gaskets
header Bolts
Anti-seeze

Vacuum fittings
a coolant fitting (elbow from the intake to the heater)
Thread tape
 
What year is your car? I think the kit is only for cars that used the headlight protectors, i.e. the bumper cars.
 
if he says they will, that must be true. However fitting and directly bolting in are 2 different things.
 
I have found that stuff comming off is more difficult that stuff going on.
 
Not here, usually stuff doesn't bolt on, needs modifications/reworking.
 
So I now have the holley(hell) and big-ass-single-plane off the car and my replacement stuff all prepped and ready to go on.

I got the wrong gasket and need to replace it.
