Carb Guys, what do I want?

On The Tree
We dynoed my 5.3 with a 750 Quick Fuel, down leg boosters, mech. secondaries. Worked very well natural, and on nitrous. A little more expensive than a Demon, but I think they are worth it.

You're welcome ... I am running the Lokar stainless TV cable with a small piece of linkage from Bowtie Overdrives that lets you adjust the travel so you get full travel on the TV valve. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS TO BE RIGHT!!! ... One more thing. If you can't find the linkage you need from a sponsor, Bowtie Overdrives has a linkage kit made specifically for the Demon carburetors.
Thanks!

Is that linkage piece something specific to your Edelbrock carb? I have all the Lokar stuff and the instructions don't say anything about an additional part being needed other than the correct stud for mounting the cable end. I'll look around on Bowtie's site and see about it...
Thanks!

... Jeg's and Summit both have what they call geometry correction brackets that bolt on the linkage on your carb also. You might look into these. Just be sure that it is RIGHT so you don't ruin your trans!!! Whoops, sorry to keep running on, but if you need me to, I will take a picture of the linkage and post it. Just say the word, and give me a little time to do it. Good luck!

You got it Russ. I will do it here in a little while. I'll try to post it late this evening. If I can find the pictures and instructions I got with the trans, I will see if I can do anything with them also. If worst comes to worst, you can PM me your e-mail address and I can e-mail you a printed copy. By the way, TCI has come out with what they call a constant pressure valv body, Summit #TCI-386020, which is supposed to keep you from burning up the trans if the TV valve is mis-adjusted. You might check it out. Later.

I got around a little sooner than I expected. I hope these give you an idea what is needed. Just click on the thumbnails, and hopefully they will enlarge enough that you can see some detail. As you will see, the piece on my carb has been modified. I was originally trying to use the L76 FI intake and was trying to use it on a bracket I made for the throttle body. Anyway, the kit they sent with trans. was called a SB Universal and had the little laser cut piece and an ugly bracket and an ugly TV cable that was about a foot too long. Price was $44.00. Don't know if they sell the piece separate, or if they sell a similar piece for a Holley. As you can see, what it does is change the length of the radius from the throttle shaft and it can also change the rate? which affects the shift timing. Hope this helps. If you can't see or read them clearly enough, you can PM me and I will print off all 4 pages and either mail them to you or we can try e-mail.
