I know I'm asking allot of questions but it looks so trashy in there is there any thing I need to buy? I want to do it all right and it does not mess with the brain at all?

You can never ask to many questions. Yes, in the pictures that was the stock carburetor. I would recommend start by following the vacuum line to see what they connect to. If it goes to the items you see in my first picture you can cap it off at the carburetor and remove it from the passenger side inner fender. You can purchase assortment of vacuum cap at your local auto parts store. They should look something like this:

In the second picture i removed the part off the front of the air cleaner housing. You can do the same. Follow the pipe over to the exhaust manifold and remove that to. You will need to go to the hardware store to get four brass caps to plug it off. I bought my brass plugs at ace hardware. The other two pipes go down to the exhaust. Unbolt it and cut a piece metal plate to cap it off. You will also need to drill two wholes to bolt it down the plate.

Nice that helps out allot did it give you any more power at all? Your motor bay looks clean as heck.what did you do with the vacume advance and where did you get that nice billet looking one.not trying to copy you lol!

I got a little more power out of it. The vacuum advance i rerouted through the spark plug wire loom. It then runs between the valve cover and firewall to the intake manifold. Im using the vacuum port closest to the firewall in the intake manifold. Note: my intake manifold is shaved. You can purchase a chrome vacuum advance cover from O'Reilly Auto Parts. It needs to be modified to fit by drilling a hole on the side to run the vacuum line through. For the wire loom i bought from Billet Specialties. To make it work you will need to modify it by cutting the longest part of the wire loom. I cut 3 1/2 inches off. Also made my own brackets to get it to fit using the factory mounting holes on the valve cover.

Where did you put the relay box at I didn't seder that in your write tuck
tuna   +1y
Its hidden between the battery and inner wall. This is what i did, drilled the spot welds on the relay bracket to remove it from the passenger side inner fender. You can throw away the bracket. Then unbolted the battery tray. On the sides of the relay box you will find a cover on each side. Pop that cover open to unscrew the wires and unplug the other connector. Don't forget to label which one goes where. With the relay box in your hand, you measure the size of the hole you will need to cut in the battery tray. After the rectangle is cut out drill two holes so you can mount it. Use the nuts and bolts (that you got when you removed from all the emissions stuff) to mount the relay box to the battery tray. Before you mount it be sure to connect the wires first.
