Summit and jegs sells all the stuff you'll need to switch your cables over from stock GM to Edelbrock. You'll probably have to buy a bracket for your kickdown and throttle cables to snap into and kickdown and throttle studs to hook the cables to your new carb. Give summit racing or jegs a call and they'll know what all you need to complete your install. If your SS still has the stock 200-4r overdrive tranny keep in mind that your kickdown cable has to be hooked up and adjusted properly for your transmission to upshift and downshift right. Not to mention it will prematurely destroy your tranny if it's out of adjustment or not hooked up. Good luck!

That edelbrock....Does it look like the old style Carter?
If it does than thats a good carb to run...Its also preset from the factory so you may only need to adjust the idle once you get it mounted and hooked up. throttle/kickdown/fuel.

I cant remember what Choke style your Monte came with...
So, you may end going to a manual choke setup..
I would however recommend getting the matching edelbrock intake for it...
That would make things a lot easier during the instahl... (Eliminates the adapter plate)
