     This past spring I installed an Edelbrock carb and manifold and did 
     not use a spacer under the carb.  The heater hoses outlet for the 
     engine is 5/8" while the hose outlet for the heater core is 1/2"
     so I made a reducer from two brass hose connectors bought at Home Depot.   
     You could solder two copper tubes together as well for the reducer. The    
     original setup is a T connector with one hose running to the carb spacer.  
     The manifold outlet feeds into the heater control valve, which in turn     
     connects to the heater core, so no problem there with mismatched hose      
     sizes.
     I used the temp. sensor in the manifold water passage holes by the         
     thermostat and wraped it with teflon tape and used an o-ring to help seal  
     it.

Anyone out there with an Edelbrock performer/Holley 4bbl setup care to 
give some advice on heater hose routing. Did you use a spacer under the 
carb? If not, (that's my plan right now) what did you do about the temp 
sensor? Is there a replacement sensor that will go in the hole next the 
to the thermostat housing? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
     
On another topic, what are the 'proper' locations for attachment of the 
ground strap.
