Ok, got my Edelbrock 1407 and rebuild kit on the bench and beer in the mini fridge! I may be flirting with disaster but it can't be that difficult, right, lol?

All you need is a $15 vacuum gauge.

Vac guage and maybe some micro drill bits. Depends on what your idle vac is. If its low then you are in for some serious mods.

Use a little camera and take pics if you've never done one before.
