John: Thanks also. I have been going around and around with the right carb application for the 67 SS. First I did put on an Edelbrock Performer Series Carb with electric choke. But, you need an adapter plate. This one inch adapter plate caused the cleaning element to hit the roof of the hood. So, I went back to the Edelbrock Carb, 1901. Fit like a charm. But, the original coil thermo element is missing and the rebuild people apparently blocked the factory intake manifold so it does not use heat. Hence, I am going with this set up Part # Q-EC3. www.quadrajet.com This is a choke conversion kit that converts divorce choke quadrajets to electric chokes. It mounts to the intake manifold where the coil used to rest. Hope it works. Have others here have had a clearance problem with 67 SS' and factory intake manifolds + aftermarket carbs ? Cheers, Ken McD...
