I think you can use the OE throttle adapter from the 2bbl, the one w the pin and the nut that screws on/secures it. If you have a functioning heat riser I'd suggest useing an OE thermostatic choke in the well. At least on my eddy 1406 the elec choke comes off way too fast and b 4 that the choke pulloff is inop but haven't dug into it yet. EDIT Roe is right, forgot about that, also need the horsehoe shaped bracket for the pin/nut to bolt into. The one for a holley is slightly different (bolt hole C to C) from the eddy one but I think you can easily redrill the carb linkage hole slightly next to it for a holly one to fit if you happen to have one but those adapters are cheap. O'reilly's or a similar parts house that has an Eddy carb accessories will have it & iirc less than $10

yep eddie sells the mopar throttle adaptor and you use the throttle stud from the 2-v carb to hook the cable and throttle pressure valve linkage up most times you can lengthen the TPV linkage from intake bell crank to the carb 1.5" or so and bend it around and make the 2-v linkage work this is important to keep the tranz from burning up and to have the shift points set correctly when you go from the SB to the BB you will need BB TPV linkage for your yr b-body I dont thin any of the SB stuff will fit or work for the swap I sugest you locate these parts before swaping in the BB along with the BB tranz you shift likage should hook up from SB 727 to BB 727 with maybe some adjustments..IIRC most important is to have the throttle pressurevalve linkage hooked up and adjusted correctly thats the most important thing on the auto tranz

Here's my 340 with a 1405 600 manuel choke Eddie carb. BTW a manuel choke Eddie is way better for performance than a electric choke model. I would never want one. This setup(throttle bracket and trans linkage) has been cut on, welded on, modified since the late 70s. It has been used on at least 5 different manifolds over the years. But it give you and idea of what the brackets look like. This one's a driver and I don't worry about cleaning the engine. As long as it don't leak oil, I don't touch it. It looked the same after running it hard at Bonneville. No oil leaks! Nitrous trigger equipped. I don't use a choke cable, although here lately I've been thinking about putting one on...Only because I have driven the car in cold climates, like at the top of Pikes Peak. I think this is a different manifold in this picture. These 2 pictures were taken after I drove the crap out of it on the salt in Utah. I disconnected the vacumn advance because I wanted to be sure my motor would be good at hi speed at miles at a time. It lived and going back this year. It went 118 MPH last year not really trying, watch out this year.

NOS switch, don't use it anymore. Yea, shorten the chain and you got yourself a throttle stop, he might never know. lol
Yea it was very cool when you take someone for ride. I'd stand on it and the NOS would come on and they would be amazed that a 340 could run like that. lol I never told some people the truth, they didn't need to know.
I was the NOS king in my neighborhood around 1979 or so. I installed about 10 systems for guys around town.
I had a 87 4x4 ramcharger with a factory 360 and quadrajet carb. I installed 33.5" tires and 4:11 front and back. I put NOS on it and it ran 14.2 at the drag strip in 2 wheel drive in the 1/4 mile. First I'd do a 4 wheel drive burn out, the crowd would go nuts and I was beating some 5.0 mustangs.
Here's a partial picture of it. Sorry for being OT
