This is not Vette,however it is for my wifes beautiful 71 Z/28.I'm so tired of the Holley thats on there that I went a bought a Eldebrock quadra jet..I know this is pretty much bolt on stuff.Any opions on this?Was the quad.pretty much adjusted right out of the box?My big problem is where do you hook up the electric choke.That alone would be very helpful.Thanks.

You should be able to run that thang right outta the box. You may need to adjust the idle mixture, and speed later, but I would leave it as is for a few miles. That is, as long as it will start and run with no problems. Then, just drive it for a while, and let it get all soaked up with fuel. If it needs any adjustment, that's when I would suggest doing them.
The 'lectrical choke just needs a 12v source, only when the engine is running. Just find a circuit that will handle the extra amperage for a few minutes, and tie into that. You should find a couple of extra "IGN" terminals in the fuse box. That would be a good spot to tie into. Be sure to put an inline fuse in the circuit, tho, just in case. Ya never know...

Wow! had no idea.Inside the box was a CD.I put it in and this real nice guy walked you through the install.He was useing a 327 69 Camaro as the mule.Everything he did I allready new except when he got to the electric choke.Simple.You ground it to the elec. choke body.The hot goes through the fire wall and into the fuse box.It has a plug on the end that goes right in one of the empty Acc.Thats it.I've alleays had Holleys except for a 70 SS camaro that had a quad.It preformed flawlessly.I know my wife will be happy.She took off the Holley and got out the Mothers power ball and strated on the valve covers.Went to walmart and she decided to get a rattle can of orange engine paint.She wants to paint the intake.She is really pretty good at working on cars.One time she replaced the fuel pump on my 78 Bandit TA.It's not as easy as a small block.The pontiac motor 455 fuel pump is not in the same place and is a pain to get to if you don't have a lift but she did it ALL by herself.Got out from under the car and cranked it up! She's a keeper. zgator2007-03-03 17:26:52

You can get simple in-line fuse holders at any parts place, or even Radio Shack. Does the info you got with a carb give you any idea of how many amps the choke will use? I would guess a 15-20 amp fuse would do it.
It's kewl they sent ya a CD with it!!!

God my wifes out working again.I've got vortec heard on it with some cast alum valve covers.My wife has allready taken those off for polishing.Well the red wire don't seem long enough.I'm going to have to splice in some more so I guess thats where I'll put the in line fuse.They want you to use one of those acc spots in the fuse thats are not being used.I guess it don't matter what one. zgator2007-03-03 20:11:33

You got ya a good one there, Mike!! Better keep her!!!

Yeah, install the inline fuse in between the splice. I have to question the "ACC" install, tho. That would mean the only time the terminal is "hot" is when the key is in the ACC position. You might want to test the terminal first, to see that it has 12v with the key on, in the "Run" position. If that car has extra terminals marked "IGN", that would be the place to put it, unless the "ACC" terminals are in fact hot with the engine running.
Ya might need to ax the little Lady where to put it...she may know more than either of us!!

We both posted at the same time! I missed the question on the vacuum. Most of the engines are run off of ported vacuum. That means, there is no vacuum until the throttle is opened a bit. The ports for this will be on the bottom part of the carb, but above the throttle blade height. Adams' Apple2007-03-03 20:16:54

Yeah Joel she is.She'a allready barking orders about up and at'em early.I want that carb on tomorrow. zgator2007-03-03 20:35:59

That makes perfect sence about the Vac advance and once again you are right.I should have thought a little more before I spoke,I would have known that.

Joel,I used to run my pvc to a tee with the power brake.Thats the only place I had left with the Holley.Should I Tee it somewere else?
