I put a Eddy 1405 on mine years ago. (manual choke). IIRC 1406 is the same except electric choke. For a stock manifold you will need an adapter plate. If you are using the stock air cleaner, get the banjo hose fitting. The straight out one won't clear. Even with the banjo, you might need a minor hammer adjustment to the cleaner.

Get the calibration kit. Out of the box, they tend to be rich.
Check the float levels before installing.

I think Eddy or someone makes a metal line + filter that comes close to the front of the manifold. You could modify the OEM steel line to fit. The one I remember seeing has the banjo so should clear a stock air cleaner.

You may need a some adapters for the throttle linkages. When I bought mine, it was setup for the older solid linkage setup. The cable set uses different connectors.
