[68 P.O.S.]

Sounds like you’re almost all set then. Your setup sounds similar to mine on my 72. I’m using the EPS intake, a 1406 carb, the fuel pump, and the heat gasket. Works out real well. The stock 71-72 throttle setup hooked right up to the carb with no issues. I agree with the other suggestions of using a heim joint, should work out real well. The only other thing I can think of is getting a cal kit for the carb so you can get it setup nicely.
