Yea I am using it in spots, like I have a plywood cavity on one of the bolt holes, so I back filled it with wood and permatex to glue it in place and seal a possible issue. Great idea on the self tapping, that gets me past the issue where the carriage bolts for the adapter were in the way of sealing the plenum. I am going back to the store and exchange my new carriage bolts for the big self tappers. Thanks Joe.

Oh I completely removed the choke, and the butterflies. Once you get into the choke (remove one screw and cut two rivets) you are able to access the three screws that holds the entire assembly. Had to wiggle out one link, but I got it out, then I pulled the two links up top and removed the butterflies.

So should I drill the throttle plates? I can wait though now with the new setup. It will be very easy to access. I was thinking of doing that, and blocking that EPA circuit.

I have a question for the others that bought carbs from Tom, did your idle solenoid come with a wire. Mine looks like it had one, but its been cut. Right on the body of the solenoid too. Useless to re-solder, but I am thinking they all come with the wire cut?
