The kits look good and there's some GREAT info there...

But IMO I didn't need their kit for the original-style Edelbrock #1901 QuadraJet on my truck. I just got a miscellaneous TV bracket and cut most of it off and bent the rest of it until I got the pull numbers I needed...I don't have the links handy but there's some sites that show how the TV needs to be pulled out. Basically, you want a lot of it to pull out initially (so TV pressure and hence tranny pressure rises soon enough to handle increased load from the engine) and there's a certain amount you should have it pulled out at WOT.

So far, I've got 1600mi on mine, no problems at all and running great.
