Olds 73 calling out for help!!

A Big Hello to everyone who makes this site awesome! LaVarr is here coming atcha all the way from NC. I was scrolling and I saw this site. I don't think you can top advice and encouragement from individuals who understand what it feels like to have an Oldsmobile from the 70 era. I am amongst greatness and I say thank you in advance.73 Oldsmobile Delta 88 base model. 2brrl Rochester was in it when purchased some years back. This has been a slow.....Slow process. Just decided to really dedicate time money and effort to get her running where I feel comfortable driving her without it shutting off on me. Gotta wait 2 hours before she will start again. Carburetor I figured out finally.
Honestly I need help putting it back together. And questions about intake...2711 or 7111? I read alot still not confident on choosing correct intake. Tips on leak prevention? Upgrade distributor? Cheap advance auto parts dist. And cap on there now. I have demon carb 600cfm. I bought mr gasket throttle cable kit.. alot of pieces. I'm lost man. Can't find a YouTube video anywhere to give me examples of it being installed on any carb. I don't want to guess. I want to do it right. Any and all help I consider it good help. Thank you everyone

The 2711 is for the 72 etc, your 73 will use the 3711 intake with the egr.

Welcome, we look forward to seeing pics. You might want to start a separate thread in the SBO forum. It would probably get more views and you'll get some good advice choosing an intake and setting up your carburetor.
