What kit are you using? You should post a bit more info.

On my NX kit, we carefully bent the provided bracket nearly 90 degrees and it lines up and works real well after that bit of fabrication. This is on a BBK TB, but on an LT1 car. You can probably be successful, however, doing pretty much what I did.

good luck

Unfortunately how I mounted it won't apply since you are putting it on an LS1. I used the screw hole for the funky black plastic cover that goes over the side of the TB (where the cables attach).

As for the bracket, put it in a vise. Keep the end you will anchor to the TB flat and unmovable. Then CAREFULLY work the other end of the bracket with pliers/vise grips to twist it perpindicular to the other end. This allowed me to mount the WOT switch above the TB linkage so that when the whole assembly swings around at WOT it hits the arm on the WOT switch and clicks it to activate.

My advice may not be pertinent, as the LS1 TB is way different.

Good luck.
