1985 305 emissions control

hinz57,

The kickdown bracket is available from Edelbrock. They have a chrome and non chrome version. The bracket bolts to the intake itself onto the head. Read this post from another web site. It explains the problem with the kick down cable. http://forums.chevytalk.com/forums/F...ML/002569.html
yes your cruise control will work with the bracket. You just need three connecations to keep it.

As for the carb, the Edlebrock Q-jet is an excellent replacement. Tuning one can be a headach if you're not handy on tuning a carb. That is one reason I chose the #1406. Less hassel to tune. I did have a problem with my 305 pinging but an adjustment on the timing solved the problem. My 305 also requires the idle advance. This advance is done by connecting the HEI advance line to the lower vaccuum port. If I remember correctly is the one driver side.
