you should be able to get away with choke on just one of the carbs and only use it for starting, then warm the engine up properly before heading off.

for the throttle, just get inventive with a throttle cable of anything (grab one from the wreckers, preferably with adjustments at each end). attach it to the pedal via a hole and slot. everything should be on those carbs to hook up the cable.

Pretty easy to use the accelerator pedal and cable off a later model Chrysler Avenger. There's one at Pick a Part Wtgn and lots at Smash Palace.

Awesome thanks guys. Ive got a escort throttle cable that Im going to try modify. It looks like it will work. Joker it looks like you only had one choke hooked up on yours? I guess I could give it a go.
