I am working on putting in a new edlebrock performer intake and carb. All has gone well so far (bolting things up) but I can seem to figure out how to connect the throttle and choke... Also, since I am going with a non-computerized carb, I am a little confused with all the extra hoses and wires. Forgive me for my stupidity, I am a chick, have no car exp other than replacing the orig carb once before, but I am trying to learn! Any thoughts would be greatly helpful! Thanks

 

Sorry, forgot to mention this is an 84 305

 

What type of carb (Edelbrock, Holly, etc.) and what type of transmission do you have? You may need a special throttle plate adapter for the accelator cable and trans cable.

 

Sorry, I noticed you already mentioned the intake and carb and I had already typed an answer. However, if you have an OVERDRIVE TRANS (200-4R or 700-4R) it will be controlled by a TV cable which hooks up to the carb. THIS IS NOT JUST A PASSING GEAR CABLE. Adjustment is critical to the proper operation and shifting of the trans, especially when installing an aftermarket carb. Your factory setup won't work. A company called Sonnax Performance makes adapters for the Edelbrock setup. It is called a TV Cable Corrector, Part # AS3-03K. It costs about $30.00 and will allow the proper operation of the cable from idle to full throttle. I can send the website to order from if you need it. Good luck.
