Well, since that's a spreadbore manifold and the q-jet is a spreadbore carb, you're good to go.

I understand. Sometimes you get the "spookies" where you start thinking that everyting is going to go horribly wrong. Fortunately, this one won't be a problem for you.

You want to use the thick, open QJet gasket to mate that QJet to the Eddy intake. It's about 3/8" thick and is open everyhwere in the middle. Comes in most rebuild kits. Also available from you local auto parts store.
