If i'm understanding you correctly. This is why I like pictures Hard to explain in words.

If you're talking about the throttle cable bracket in the picture I posted, I'm wondering if you're seeing it correctly. The oblong hole at the top of the pic is to mount the bracket to the carb. The 3 holes in-line with each other are for the throttle cable (largest hole) a bolt hole for another trans kick-down bracket (middle hole-kick down bracket not shown) and the return spring hole (bottom hole).

EDIT: oh, and this bracket is for the lokar style throttle cable. Not sure how you'd mount a factory throttle cable to this.
failed attempt at being a genius

Yeah I don't think I understand your picture right, I was thinking that screw with the bolt would go into the existing hole of the kick down cable, and the other were holes for misc items that's why I was thinking you could fab up something using mostly stock components or using the components that already came on the edelbrock carb. I wonder though if I could actually fab up something like I just mentioned in the sentence before this one, what you think?
