Yeah, just wanted to make sure I wasnt forgetting anything. The engine is a tpi 305 that I will convert to a carb setup. Nothing too crazy, just something to putz around town in.

If you are getting a donor car, why are you converting it to carb?

I wouldn't wish a carburetor on my worst enemy. I've got one more Holley to sell and a CC Quadrajet I'll probably toss in the garbage can, then I'm out of the carburetor business forever. Fuel injection is lightyears easier to deal with.
