So, used to be stuff like this didn't bother me but now I prefer to do things right.
My wagon was originally a 318/2 car, and has the original throttle cable.
Currently it's a 360/4, Edelbrock intake and carburetor.
I've got the throttle hooked to the carb OK, using the Chrysler adaptor bracket. My question is about the bracket mounted to the engine, that clamps the cable and has the pivot for the kickdown rod. There's a flared metal fitting on the end of the throttle cable, that gets clamped to this bracket - with this carb setup, that fitting doesn't reach the bracket without pulling the throttle halfway open; it's about half an inch short. I currently have it clamped on just the black sheath...but it's sketchy, and can (and has) slid through, limiting my throttle action.
Is there an extension for this bracket? Or, a different bracket? It attaches to the intake bolts, and if I move it one set of bolts forward it would be WAAAY too close to the carburetor... I've looked online, but haven't found any brackets like this. Or, should I just make an extension plate to clamp it closer to the carburetor?
