Carburetor hook up questions.

<hr style="color: rgb(221, 221, 221); background-color: rgb(221, 221, 221);" size="1"> <!-- / icon and title --> <!-- message --> I am picking up a Carb from a shop tomorrow that has been freshly rebuilt. I have the TV Rod going to my transmission, and I am curious if any one has hooked a 4 barrel carb up to one of these, and if they could snap some pictures for me to reference. I know I may have to swap out to a TV cable, and I would like to see some pics of a 4 barrel hooked up to the cable as well to determine what I need to do.

I am also curious as to if this carb will be too much for this motor. Its a 302 5.0. All I have done to it is replace the lifters and push rods so far and its a 650CFM. Would this be too much with out any mods if I dialed it in really low? I plan on running long pipe headers here shortly too.

Any help on either of my two questions would be greatly appreciated!

Not hoses, think he's referring to the rod/cable to downshift the tranny, when accelerator is gunned.

I think 600cfm is reccomended for a 302 so 650 would be a hair big, but close enough. What brand carb is it? I know my edelbrock required a special bracket to mount the trans kickdown
