I am doing a bit of an upgrade in the next week or two, depending on when my parts get here.

I have obtained a 2bbl Manifold, and a Carter bbd, designed I believe for a 273 2bbl. I also have purchased the lokar Kickdown Linkage/Cable.

I am still waiting on a set of Split headers I bought on e-bay, to see if they are going to fit or if I am just going to have to sell them.

Here are some pics of what I bought:

Now for my questions, My car was a 273 2bbl from the factory, but someone in the history of my car put a slant in it.

How do i determine if I currently have a slant or v-8 throttle cable?

can I just put an egr block off plate over the egr hole?

Any tips for doing the conversion?

I tried to find the simplest Carb I could as my slant is an older one with no smog stuff Etc. This carb has a fuel inlet, a PCV connection, and a Vac. advance.

Also, there will be nowhere to mount the throttle cable bracket, once the headers are in any suggestions? how about the choke?

Anyone got picks of the throttle and kickdown hookups with simular setups?
