quadrajet and bracket

[robber grin]

Got my quad rebuilt and hooked up using the Edelbrock Universal bracket

Do you like how it is working?

I haven't started it yet but assuming you mean the bracket, I was just thrilled to find something I didn't have to completely make from scratch that seemed to work.

Do you see a problem? If so please help me before I mess it up even more.

I'm an assembler by trade not a mechanic!

This seemed like a such a straight forward and easy scenario until I went to bolt it all together. None of my factory brackets I had seem to put the cables in the right spot.

The universal bracket from $ummit wasn't even close.

I just google searched until I found something that was within reach and ordered this piece. It's heavy enough material, was affordable, but the holes they suggest put the cables too far away from the carb. I went for it because someone said in the remarks they made it work by drilling and moving the brackets up.

Thanks skipper

What are you doing for a pcv system?

PCV is off the base port of the back of the carb and runs to the tube at the back of the engine.

The instructions say to mount it on the last two bolts so I'm guessing its more appropriate for aftermarket carbs

What are you using for a breather to get air into the motor?

Isn't the bracket suppose to bolt on a the carb rear bolt? hard to see.
just googled it and it does bolt to the intake. can you move it forward on the intake?
