My 71 GT-37 has a 76 400 with Edelbrock Performer intake and Quadrajet. The original throttle cable seems fine but the original cable bracket wont work on the Edelbrock. I am thinking of clamping my cable to the Edelbrock throttle cable bracket like in picture below.

Has anyone done this?

Is there a better way?

Thanks!--Kim

Edelbrock has brackets that will allow a factory throttle cable bracket to bolt on. One comes with the manifold, can’t remember if it’s pre/post 72.

I’m assuming you didn’t obtain manifold new…so you’ll need to get on for an “early” style, 71 and older.

Edit - I think you still need to modify the factory piece, cutting a tang off, in order to make it fit.

Thanks guys...Very helpful. My engine was last in a 71 Firebird so I think I may already have this "L" shaped adaptor (see link)... I'll check in the morning...

The PDF instructions show how to cut and bend original bracket so it can be used... I'll let you know.

Well, with the parts that were there and modifying my old stock bracket I think I have a configuration the will work.

SECOND QUESTION: Where does the cable itself attach to the Quadrajet?

Is it on the back side of the linkage like the second picture (see arrow)? If so, do I use a washer and a clip?
