Converting from HSR to carb.

Carb or TBI throttle and TV cables would be a very good idea.

You'll need a TV geometry corrector bracket and cable bracket.

You might not need the carb gasket or RTV, but can't hurt to have them. I would also get a gasket goop other than the RTV for the water jackets, and Teflon paste for the bolt threads (to prevent oil seeping from the lifter valley).

You will need a different thermostat housing and upper radiator hose.

Oh, yeah - air cleaner stud (may or may not come with the air cleaner).
