No, it is not universal. It is made to fit the 4150/4160 line of Holley carbs. You remove the three screws that hold the choke plate, then remove the tiny C-clip that holds the stem of the vacuum secondary housing to the secondary shaft (if you didn't know it was there, you would over look it at first, but you wouldn't be able to remove the stem so you would figure it out). Then remove the three screws that hold the housing to the side of the carb. Six screws and one C-clip -- that's it. If you have an electric choke, then there would be a couple of addtional screws. Blow out the passage with compressed air while you have it all off, make sure the little cork gasket is properly aligned with the hole, put the screws back in and you're done. Even RodKnock could do this one... well, maybe. But I'll tell you one thing he could do is adjust the screw that controls when the secondaries open. You just road test your car, stop it, back the screw out, stomp on the gas, do it all again until you create a bog off the line, then turn the screw back in until the bog goes away. On the one to ten Easy Scale, that's a 9.8, maybe higher.
