700r4 with Edelbrock carb (corrector bracket)

[Storm Chaser]

Is anyone running a 700r4 with an Edelbrock carb? Are you using the TV corrector bracket?

I was looking at these corrector brackets on the Summit website...
TCI's bracket is $42.88
B&M's is $41.95
Hughes is $41.88
And the Summit house brand is $18.95

Now, all these brackets are pretty much the same, so one would be out of their mind not to get the Summit one, but let's face it- it's just a piece of metal. Anyone have one who could provide measurements to make one?

Lokar has the best set up for this..

The Lokar stuff is even more expensive than the stuff I listed. I want to make the part so my cash outlay is 0.

The only measurement I need from someone running one of these brackets is the distance between the center of the bottom mounting hole and center of the 'relocated' TV stud. Anyone?

There's a diagram of the GM specification on what TV cable geometry should be with respect to the throttle shaft floating around somewhere. Wish I had the link to it.

I would pay 18 dollars not to have that ugly job sitting next to my carb, but I guess it gets the job done.

I built my own bracket out of metal plate and adjusted it to the proper distance for a good operation.

there's a few diffrent bracket's that will work for you. edelbrock has on for about $30-$35 buck's it bolt's to the intake manifold hold's the throttle and the t.v cable. specturm has one for about $15-$20 buck's bolt's to the back of the carb also hold's throttle and t.v cable. i just did a 700r4 swap in to my 73 blazer. the best thing to do is to go to your local transmission shop and buy a longer t.v cable.............i did yesterday if cost me $40 buck's installed............the t.v cable must be hooked up correctly if not you can and will fry your transmssion i hear..........also if you have a lock up converter you want it hooked up to work..............

I bought mine at www.jcwhitney.com. Cheapest price I found anywhere.

Yea, gchemist, that looks like the piece I'm talking about- it bolts to the trottle arm of the carb and relocates the TV stud rearward. I just need to know the distance between the center of the lower mounting hole to the center of the TV stud.

What are you using for a throttle cable mount? Factory?

[gchemist]

I'm using Edelbrocks bracket. My measurements won't work if you are using a stock bracket.

I used the stock part number from Edelbrock. Use stock numbers on any part from a major manufacturer. JCWhitney may not advertise it in their catalogue. They do carry an extensive list of parts not listed.
