I am about to notch the cowl for a carb hat, am I in the right spot?

Haha, shoulda measure before you pulled the motor.

I think you will have to cut more than that. If it were my car I'd set the motor in before I made the cuts.
Measure twice cut once right?

Well I hadnt planned on a throttlebody change when I pulled it, I found a post with a few pics.

I guess I will set it in there, cover it up and do the measuring.

Mine in its previous life, I have more pics just not sure where. I will add them if I find them, I think that you will need to cut away more than you have marked out for the throttle linkage.
