4 jet TV bracket
So I picked up a core 200 4R (dumping the powerslide), had it rebuilt by an extremely reputable transmission shop and I am now ready to begin install now that weather will be turning to crap.
About the only unknown here is locating a TV bracket for what looks to be an original 4G carburetor atop a 67 327. I have searched and find a multitude of Qjets and Holley, but no 4 jet. I am no stranger to metal fabrication so if that’s what it takes so be it, but I am sure someone here has encountered the same problem and a solution has already been found. Thanks to all!

bowtieoverdrives.com or google bow tie overdrive. Out of SoCal, great company and an excellent and informative website. You want TV-Made-EZ.

Re: 4 jet TV bracket
Been there, again many Qjets and Holley but have not found a bracket for the 4 jet. It does not appear that Qjet bell crank linkages are the same.
I measured bell crank rotation of the 4 jet and it is extremely close to the 78 degrees needed but is not linear. The bell crank rotation of the carb linkage would need to be flattened out just a bit so some correction is needed. The correctors made by bowtie look to be well made, they just don’t list one for the 4jet. Am I missing something simple here? Is a call to bowtie in order? And if a call is made will there be someone there competent enough to answer?
