Default Electric Choke Conversion

Hey guys,
I just purchased the edelbrock electric choke conversion kit, part number 1932. I am a little confused about the install of it and the connector that I have doesn't seems to fit on electric choke thermostat.

Can someone who has performed this conversion please post of pic of the finished install so I can see when it looks like? I wish edelbrock would have included a pic like that in their instructions.

Thanks guys,
John

Ok, figured out the connector but still confused about the self tapping screws. Do the just hold in the little gold washers and those hold the electric choke thermostat in?

It looks completely identical to the stock hot air choke system - you take the hot air choke cover off, remove the gasket, and install the electric cover. Re-use the same hardware. The only visial difference is the electrical spade connector in the new cover - there's not much to shoot a picture of...

My only confusion is that the new "cover" that came in the kit doesn't have any holes in it. There are these little washers though so I am assuming those just go under the screws and hold the electric choke in like little retainers.
