yup got incomplete ansewers i was hoping to find a member who did this swap and can remember what was done. i am not looking to do a factory change out, just what needs to be done to make a daily driver

You folks tell me if this even sounds semi correct as I bought this packet of parts simply for parts but ive not robbed anything from it yet.

I put the parts out of the big envelope into a smaller bin but I can take pics.

Sorry if this is of no use.

Need to see pics of the parts. From the diagrams it could be anything related to those diagrams and the original conversion kit had a lot more.

I will pull it out in the AM, its 90% of the parts in the diagram and I thought it was some sort of kit from the start. Most have individual part number tags on them as well.

In the 1st thread I posted a link to the factory instruction packet. It's PDF so each page has to be downloaded, but it might help.

what did you do with the pump in the tank? and kick down linkage?

I put a gas tank from a Cordoba in mine because the tank was full of rust and sludge.New Imperial tank not available.I used a cordoba fuel pick up and adapted the Imperial level sensor to it.The Cordoba sensor has a different resistance and doesn't read accurately to the Imperial Guage.If your tank is good you could take the pump out and lengthen the pick up tube.I just used the factory kick down linkage on the factory bracket.I had to cut the bracket in half and put a piece of metal in it to raise it up to line up properly.I put a four barrel Holley carb and an Edelbrock aluminum intake on my car.You may not have to do anything to it with a two barrel.My kick down works exactly like the factory.

tks my car runs fairly good i was gonna leave the tank pump an us a regulator to drop pressure tks again

You'll need to add a relay and a way to energize it to run the pump. From what I found, the pump relay is energized by the ECM which requires inputs from the ignition.
