1986 monte ss with 350 sbc, edelbrock carb and intake
two questions, or maybe more.

firstly: my first time pulling off a 2bb carb to put in a 4bbl with electric choke. i kno where all the hoses connect but im not 100 percent on how to connect the electric choke.

second. my ss nose has a crack in it, am i screwed and have to go buy a new nose or is there any possible way on earth to fix that up

any help guys

 

depends on how bad the crack is and where it's locates. Body shops can plactic weld, but a lot depends on the situation. Best bet, talk to some of the body shops and see what they think.

 

2bbl? is that on the 350 you put in ? the stock 305 should have had a wire on it for the choke on the q jet

 

For the choke all you need to do if ground the black wire, usually a screw on the body of the carb, and the red wire to a switched power source. A lot of guys tap the hot wire for the HEI, due to it has a full 12 volts of power, and it only has power when the key is on. If you have a 2 bbl manifold, I would suggest switching that out to a 4 bbl one. An edelbrock performer works good for a mild engine, and is not that expensive.

 

check out honest charlie's speed shop, and OPGI ( original parts group inc) for the nose

honest charlie's has an SS nose avalible for about $450, which would need to be painted. plus if shipping is not free, thats gonna run ya quite a bit for something so big. but it looks to be a nice peice. see for yourself:
