Well, you should have some vacuum lines. Brakes, Modulator for trans (if equipped), etc. Heat/AC controls as well.
This seems like a good intake for the money. A 600cfm AVS Edelbrock (AVS 2 has neato annular boosters now) or a 600cfm vac. sec. holley will work wonders. Or a qjet, if you get a spreadbore/dual pattern manifold.

Hello Longroof79, I am Mike geepers. I am new to gbody forum, and joined recently to get to know my car better. I have a 1978 Monte Carlo I cruise, and been a fan of gbody style cars for awhile. Here go a few pics of my car, and engine related to topic.

Mike,
Once again, welcome to the forum. Looks like a nice Monte you're working on. I like that color.
Thank you for posting the pics and your introduction...it's much appreciated.
You will certainly find the information you seek. There's a lot of knowledgeable/ friendly members here that are more than willing to help...just ask.

Welcome from Western New York and a fellow 3rd gen owner.
If you do not have your heart set on a Edelbrock intake and carb, a stock 305 will respond real well to a factory aluminum intake and early non electronic Q Jet.
<My blue 79 Monte Carlo has the 267 small block (For now) with the aluminum intake from my 86 El Camino's 305 and a 76 vintage Q Jet. This combo was used for years on a 400 small block, and two 383 stroker engines. I had tried a Edelbrock 2101 Performer intake but felt no difference on the 400 compared to the factory offering.
Hope this helps!
Sweet looking 78!!!

When I built the 305 on my first monte. I used a 2601 performer air gap. I wanted to keep my qjet for the time being.
it worked great!

My vote is for a built quadrajet and an Edelbrock 2101 intake. They can both be used on a larger engine later if you want. I had Sean Murphy induction rebuild my quadrajet. Wow, what a difference!
Ok so I decided to go all edelbrock on top, ordered the manifold kit, and have a manual choke 600 to go on top. What will I need to modify to make carb configure to old hookups? Ie., vacuum, brake boost, linkage...am I overthinking this? Just want to be prepared for install and ready to get my car back on the road.
