Here is a thread on doing the conversion:

I might have a pedal assembly off a square body, would that work?

I'm almost wanting to stick with the metal rod, but I'm not sure where to get the correct one.

I'm not opposed to swapping to cable, but not sure it's necessary

I did find a manifold with the oil fill tube for a reasonable price (at least I think it was reasonable)

I found a manual choke 4m quadrajet amongst my junk, so that should work fine.
