Fuel lines ran



Throttle cable bracket came in today. This was meant for an Edelbrock, but it seems like a pretty good angle on the TV cable. Is this right?

No it is not correct. It needs to be a straight shot and properly adjusted the first time you drive it. If not you will burn up the trans.

Sorry about the delay between posts, I switched jobs and haven't had as much time to work on this.

Here is my solution to the TV cable bracket. I took some measurements and determined the hole needed to move over exactly 1 inch. Instead of cutting and rewelding the bracket, I flattened out the other Edelbrock TV bracket and welded it to the back of this one. One, it reduced the amount of fab and welding needed to get the cutout in the proper position, and two, it added some strength to the bracket.

Painted





And mounted. Much better!



Also re-bent the vacuum booster line to clear the bracket and throttle cable.
