i would call to make sure the adapter is the same for all of them... but i'm pretty sure you're good

as far as the linkage, it looks a little different from mine, so i'm not really sure without a better look at it

IIRC throttle cable comes from drivers firewall across the back of the bay and connects behind the weber by the throttle.

The wire of the solenoid comes of the passenger side.

By all means stay away from the setup where you shove a wire into a collet and hold it only with a set screw. It'll fall apart at the worst possible times (that would be just about anytime eh? lol) I've run into no end of trouble with it. Can't find a pic of how visio hooked up his 4 bbl but it was pretty trick >.< Not much help but I'll try to roust him out and get a pic.

yeah that dealy there is for hooking up the collet style thingy mabob. mine came with the cable guide style for using the lead t at the end. I just had to flip it upside down to work. that dealy comes off though and can be replaced with the cable guided style you'd just have to find a part number. I'll take some pics in the morning.

but while we're on topic the weber auto choke. just supply 12v and it should open right, I'm assuming its grounded internally? I ran a jumper just to see to the pos terminal and no dice nothing moved. You know anything about it pezi or any of yall other regs?
