Mike,
I like stoopid questions the best 'cause my answers are stoopid too.
I attached the header to the engine first. It is a simple matter to put
the carb on, much easier than putting on the Stromberg. Just don't
forget to put on the throttle bracket before you tighten down the nuts.
The whole process takes about half an hour or less (the first time.)
I did have a clearance problem with my header. Solved the problem by
trimming the header with my Dremel.
Before you order, you must consider whether you want electric, water, or
manual choke. I got manual, not sure it is the best choice, although the
car starts first click without engaging the choke.
I am glad I got the whole kit. It came from Pierce via NW in Oregon. You
might do as well directly from Pierce. The Pierce people were very
helpful with my dumb questions, especially a chap named Gron (sic.)--not
a typo.
I did invest in a $20 Purolator fuel pressure regulator at my local auto
parts store (the chain stores didn't have one.)
Good luck
