Need Help (BADLY)

[84sscutty]

Hello guys, I recently had a 350 sbc rebuilt and I installed it into my brothers car(87 caprice). Everything has been smooth up until now. I'm having hella trouble with the throttle. Could anyone tell me what throttle bracket I need. The transmission is a 700r4. I am guessing I need a throttle bracket with a provision for kickdown/detent cable. Also what geometry corrector will I need? The carb is an Edelbrock Performer 1406(electric choke-600). Long story short-part numbers for throttle bracket and corrector for 700r4 and Edelbrock. If it matters, the car originally had a 305. Thanks for any help, it will be greatly appreciated.

The original throttle bracket should be used :idea: If not, just get yourself a cheap Mr. Gasket chrome throttle cable bracket/kickdown bracket. They are adjustable.

The factory one won't work. The intake is a Professional Products Air-Gap so nuttin lines up as far as that stuff goes. I bought one of those universal chrome one from from Autozone but the detent fit. It won't rrwach the carb. Im at a loss. I think my brother is losing hope as well as me. I had to leave it alone for today. I was tired of looking at it. LOL

I have definitely had to give up on a job for the day because of frustration. I honestly don't understand why these brackets are so hard to fit :? I am just planning on fabricating a bracket for my kickdown cable :idea:

amen to that ritter....my 2bbl carb set up is a nightmare trying to find and fit a tv cable that will work. When in doubt, fabricate!

I never makes sense to me ... when I swapped the first SBC/TH350 combo into my Regal, straight out of the truck. The kickdown cable didn't work. I didn't even change anything :? The transmission and engine was never even seperated :x But I am definitely going to take the time to hook the cable up on my new setup. It is very annoying to not have the automatic kickdown :idea:

Can you post pics of what your working with here. Can you cut/grind the original bracket and make it fit? I had to do that with my engine.

I will try to get some pics up in a little while. The detent wont even fit the bracket, its to bulky. I have actually ordered 2 brackets from summit that their tech department suggested(said would definately work) and to send both back for refunds. Im sure it wouldnt be a problem if I used an aftermarket set of cables but theses aren't broke nor do Me or my brother have the money to keep pouring into this car. This is the only holdup. I have spent too much money on it for it not to be mine, but I havent minded helping my car illiterate brother. LOL

I bought my set from Jegs and they work great...I bought mine for the Holley. Here's the one for your Eddy Carb: http://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS-Performance- ... 3/10002/-1 And here is the geometry corrector you need http://www.jegs.com/i/TCI/890/376710/10002/-1 Here is how my set up looked

Thanks alot JBreu. I think you hit the nail on the head. That's the corrector kit I previously bought and haven't used since I haven't had a bracket. That's exactly what I wanted down to the style. Thanks alot.
