200-4R TV cable linkage for Q-Jet

[davepl]

I fab'd a quick adapter (ie: a screw run into a temporary hole on the linkage) to connect my 200-4R TV cable to the factory Q-Jet carb. It actually measures correct in terms of center and offset and swing distance, but it's not the right way.

GM likely sold a lot of 200-4R cars with Q-Jets before fuel injection took over, but I've had no luck finding any factory part that would work.

I've also been through the Summit catalog and not had much luck. I did buy one that bolts to the carb base, but (a) it sticks out like a sore thumb crying 'wrong transmission' in my otherwise stock truck, and (b) our intakes are so bad the bracket can't even clear it.

I want to get it right, and especially have a part I didn't make myself, so that if I grenade it with the cable set right they can't complain about my bracket. Of course when it takes you 2-3 years to finish a truck all your warranties are useless by the time you drive it anyway...

Thanks for any leads on doing this right!
