Re: Q-Jet to Holley carb swap

One like this might help.

Or simply move the attachment point for your cable up higher on the lever.
A bracket like this helps do that.

Re: Q-Jet to Holley carb swap

So I looked this over a little closer last night. I had the Holley throttle cable bracket kit part number 20-88 but was having a mental block that the round peg (rubber grommet) needed to fit into a square hole. The bracket kit (Holley 20-88) does correctly locate the throttle cable to get full throttle articulation. I will post some pictures to go with this.

To get the round rubber grommet to fit into the slot of the Holley bracket I had to file the opening of the slot wider. After filing I had to pull the rubber grommet away from the plastic "stopper" on the throttle cable. Pulling the rubber grommet away from the stopper puts the grommet on a smaller diameter of the throttle cable which allowed me to squish it. Before pushing the grommet into the bracket I sprayed the grommet with some WD-40 in order to allow it to slide better. I bolted the bracket to the rear driver's side carb mounting stud and wiggled/squished the grommet thru the slot into place on the bracket. Then I pushed the plastic stopper back tight to the grommet. For the free end of the throttle cable, I reused the post off of the old carb.
