Re: My 1967 Build (Finally)
Information for those going with a setup similar to mine:
I was having a heck of a time finding a bracket and adjustable TV cable that would fit my application (or any carb in general). I went through a bunch of options and I wasnt satisfied with how much slack in the mount there was, and how much slack in the retainer for the housing there was. Here in East VA there is a shop called AED (Advanced Engine Design) and they are well known for their high end carbs and performance parts for the carb market. Somehow I ended up on their site and saw some offerings, decided after my redeye from CA to stop in (their work hours are same as my job, but I had the day off) and check out what they've got. Aside from the TV cable setup, I needed a carb spacer to get the rear of the throttle body's wiring harness from a fitting on the intake. After discussing with AED, they recommended a wooden one (which I have always heard of, but still find hilarious). And while I was at it I went with a heim joint throttle rod. The wood will obviously dissipate heat far better, and the added plenum volume is always welcome of course. *also PLEASE ignore that hose clamp on my PCV hose. The was purely to stop it from slipping off while driving and for some reason I never think to replace it until Im on the road.
