Hey Guys,
Over the weekend I was helping a buddy of mine with his car, he has a 70 Chevelle with a 350 2bbl and a th-350 we replaced the timing chain and water pump on it, and while it was apart we decided to put a quadrajet on it, everything went fairly smoothly until we tried hooking up the throttle cable and the kick down cable, the original bracket was too far back to hook them up to the carb. i was able to bend the bracket far enough ahead to hook the throttle cable up, but there was no way the kick down was going to work with that bracket.
what i'm wondering is will a bracket off of an 80's 4 barrel engine, like say a caprice or something like that work? or will it have to be off of a similar car like another Chevelle? I don't think it matters but, the intake is off a 84 Regal and the carb is from a 83 Delta 88.
Thanks in advance,
Chris
