Hello there
Does anyone know if I can mount a Edelbock 1406 600cfm directly instead of carter on my 63?

The edelbrock will bolt right up.  You will need to get a phenolic spacer the same size as the original.  The car will run better, and if you don't use a spacer, you will need to block off the exh ports on the intake manifold.

Wire up the electric choke. 

MOST important!!! You will need to fab up a bracket to attach the TV rod to.  I attached a doc. to show how it works. The TV rod needs to stay in the green.

lastly, you will need an adaptor ring, to run the stock air cleaner housing.   www.1963caddyshack.com  has them.
