Just got mine installed. Made a boo boo the first time and put the adapter plate on 180 degrees. Coolant everywhere! Wheeeee.

Gonna finish taking some pictures. I only had to cap a few vacuum lines since I still have AC and what not. I've seen pictures where people have all the barbs on the intake capped off. I'm not certain where all they go just yet but I'll track down the unneeded lines and cap them off as needed.

If anyone has any guidance on what can be removed entirely that was only associated with the previous carb that would be awesome.

Beyond that once hooked up it fired right up. I do need to get a read off the old pump to see what kind of pressure it's putting out in case it's too high. I see some people say they've switched over to an electric fuel pump, but that it's not always needed. I guess a proper read off the pressure would be good to know.

Unfortunately I can't get out and drive it right now as the seat is off being reupholstered.

I had the same problem no power up hill could barely go 55. Any time I went over half throttle my truck would fall on its face. The problem was a clogged cat in the exhaust manifold. I cleaned it out not it runs great 80 Plymouth Arrow 2.6

What did you do to clean it out? I got a bit of water/antifreeze in the manifold during my conversion and afterwards it was puking out a bunch of black ick.

I did a treatment of seafoam on the engine and and it's all clean now, but I'm thinking some of that crap was probably caught in the cat and could probably use cleaned out as well.

Just unbolt it and blow it out?
