With my Fenton headers and Edelbrock intake the carb linkage would not pass upward from the old block pivot.I had to revise my system to a new style gas pedal (that i like 1000 times more and a throttle cable setup. Only think i find is with the 2 carbs the spring tension seems a bit too tight for me. Tom says you can remove one of the higher tension return springs from one of the carbs to softer the pedal.
On a side note, take the time to crack the carbs before you install them and check for debris. Even the second set i got from tom had a few bits of metal from the punched holes he makes in the top. Careful when opening them, the gasket will stick to the halves and can rip. Slowly pull apart and have something like a putty knife around to help pull the gasket away from one of the halves.
