 Removing the distributor is...  Removing the distributor is easy as long as you line up the rotor tip so it can be dropped back into exactly the same position. We lined up the rotor with the engine-strap ground stud on the firewall, and the distributor dropped right back into position with a new gasket.  Whenever you're combining...  Whenever you're combining performance parts with factory brackets and components, be prepared for the occasional tweak. The kick-down bracket needed to be slotted or raised to fit over the casting web of the taller intake runners.  After a little elbow workout...  After a little elbow workout with a hacksaw and a file, the bracket fit neatly in place.  The new BG Road Demon Jr....  The new BG Road Demon Jr. is an entry-level unit designed for stock or mildly modified engines. It offers the Demon's patented air-entry design, adjustable primary jets, and pressure-cast metering blocks for accurate fuel metering.  Since the Road Demon Jr. is...  Since the Road Demon Jr. is designed for street cars, it is offered with an electric choke kit as well as a manual setup. The 305 already had wiring for an electric choke, so we used that one. Carburetor linkage can pose a hassle. We were able to scrounge a throttle linkage stud from the original carb, but found the kick-down stuff (the lower linkage) in a friend's bolt bin.

The fiberglass housing has two 4-inch openings that route air directly into the filter element. We used a drop base that positions the housing lower over the carb. You can mount the duct work and direct the clean air right to the fiberglass housing and into the carb by cutting two 4-inch holes in the radiator support. To grab the fresh air, we routed one duct to the original air inlet and the other into the fender opening.
