My brother bought me the Eddy Performer 600 electric choke carb. My motor and car are getting done and I figure I need the single line fuel kit and filter #8131  and the Chrysler throttle lever kit #1481. It is going on the stock spreadbore 69-340 manifold The car is a 70 auto Challenger with 340. No air. Anything else? I am trying to stock everything so once I put it back together I don't have to stop and wait for parts to arrive-although that is just wishful thinking. thanks. :2thumbs:

69 intakes didn't have a spread bore

I am new to  Mopars, but the intake is 2531915 which is a 68-69 340. The front holes are bigger than the rear holes by 1/4 inch.

the 68 340 intake has a smaller hole in front but is a square port intake

I'm not sure it's every intake and every carb, but you may want to pickup the edelbrock spacer/shim that raises the carb 1/8" Sometimes the throtle plates rub the intake entry holes and that little "lift" fixes it.

My 650 Edel needed more tuning than "following their manual".  I ended up buying an Edelbrock O2 sensor kit.  More details in my post:  Edelbrock carb tuning. What worked for me
