For future reference, you'll probably laugh (i did), but instead of the grease method..... stuff some bread (white or wholegrain i don't think it matters) in there instead of grease.

I sat the carby on ready to get all the pipe work sorted out and have a few things to work out :think: any ideas that fuel inlet pipe I need to get for the quadrajet?

Also trying to workout what goes in the inlet manifold near the carby guessing something to do with the choke? :hmm:

That's for the EGR, the choke is connected to the holes directly below the choke unit, in between the 2 shiny bolts.
