Remember - "How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?"
Well in this case - How many accelerations does it take to wear through that fuel line, spilling fuel into the intake and setting the car on fire?
Pretty ugly stuff....

It does provide for multiple adustment points (on the hose clamp) for the pressure on the throttle return. 
Gotta love those zip ties. They're getting almost as popular as duct tape. BTW, I don't see any duct tape.

There is a dash of bubba under the hood of my vette too, I have a early 52mm t-body on my LT1 induction, set on my L98 engine....L98 HEI dizzy and all....it was a massive plumbing job to say the least with remote t-stat housing and all....
but the only thing bubba over it, was the bracket we made for the accelerator cable and cruise control, has a bit too easy a pull off, hard at the start, then really easy ....so a paper clip bent to length, and a old carb type return spring set so it's not engaged for the first ~1/4 inch of opening radius....then it snuggs up to make the pedal heavier to the feel....
Have not bothered to 'fix' it for some time now....only been 3 years....

Looks like a stock carb off an old ford truck, not near big enough for a 383.
Saw your other thread and wonder if this guy even knows what it takes to
make a 383. Did you check the damper and flywheel to make sure they are
balanced for the 400 crank? I don't trust him at all... good luck.

I just wanted to include my thoughts before I read through the other thread. 
The 1st thing that came to mind was a reason NOT to drive the car.
The 2nd thing was a reason not to open the hood.
