I’m going through this as well- use the doc in the below link. Lots of search results on here will yield different opinions- some like Weber, some don’t. A lot of people keep the stock housing and carb. I went with the JimC kit and had him rebuild my carb and recurve my distributor. Make sure you’re gentle removing the hoses from the plastic nipples or have spare parts on hand- they tend to break. While it isn’t terribly difficult, it usually will not be as easy as you hope.
Definitely start soaking the bolts in PB a few days in advance, and read the “How to Desmog a 2F” bible until it all makes sense.
If you run into any issues, the folks on the board are a pretty awesome resource.
Good luck!

"A lot of people keep the stock housing and carb."
-"Housing"?
-"Housing"?
Before you go spending money on a carb or carb rebuild check out the Holley Sniper efi. It is a little more than a carb but soooooo worth it. I went from a badly running half a$$ed desmogged rig to a full desmog and hop in turn the key to prime and fire it up. No more choke and it runs like a sewing machine. Oh, not to mention 3 vac lines in all. I owe it all to Dustin Massina's thread.
Me too. Damned thing flat scoots into traffic now. And idles along up hills and over rocks.
Thanks @Dustin Messina & @wngrog
