Default Torque arm ??

I was installing my new clutch and when i went to put the torque arm on i notice the bracket that bolts to the rear was cracked.. its a adjustable Edelbrock t/a.. is there a place that sells a replacement bracket of some sort? I hope i don't have to replace the whole thing... suggestion needed thanks again...

Doubtful, but you can try Edelbrock.

Unfortunately Edelbrock isn't the best when it comes to suspension. If you can't get a replacement I suggest going with UMI stuff.

UMI makes some great suspension products. All the aftermarket suspension i have is UMI. I would look at UMI.

We have seen those crack on occasion, that arm is decent but isn't made to handle much power. I don't think our bracket will work either.

I hope that helps,
Ryan
