sixtynine_stang 0 Report post Posted August 19, 2005 Hi, I had a two barrel carb & intake on my 69 Coupe's 302, and I just swapped it with an Edelbrock 600 and an intake from an 85 GT. For the life of me I cant figure out how to attach the bracket that holds the throttle cable to the new manifold. Will I have to replace the bracket? If so, what kind of bracket do I use and where can I get it? Also, how do I attach the cable itself to the carb? I guess there's supposed to be something the ball on the end of the cable snaps into, but there's nothing on the carb to accomodate it. Does anyone know what parts I need and where I can obtain them? Thank you for your mercy, I mean, your help. Mattie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bnickel 10,004 Report post Posted August 19, 2005 yes you will most likely have to get a different bracket which you can buy at most auto parts stores or speed shops, same goes for the linkage ball you need, it is a little ball the bolts to the linkage you should be able get that at the same place. pep boys, autozone, checker and o'reilly usually have them in stok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sixtynine_stang 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2005 Hi, thanks for the help. Sounds pretty simple. Funny how much my outlook on things can change in a day. I thought I was doomed to have to hunt down some dealer item for an 85 GT. I feel much better now. Mattie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sixtynine_stang 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2005 I went to my local speed shop today, but he didnt have any brackets for the housing. He has mostly Chevy stuff. Not much of a selection of speed shops here in the Northeast. I did get the ball that the cable snaps into. Does Summit or Jegs have anything like that?
