Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
did this kit include the throttle bracket? it should just stand on the a couple bolt holes on the back of the intake.. oh and i did notice you do have a brake booster hole in behind the carb pad.. however its a small one

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
Alright so I did what knomadd had suggested sprayed some wd-40 and ta da! just one good turn with a socket and it was loose! So got the brakes connected now so getting closer to start up.
I'm one more step closer to it being installed now my question is the original throttle linkage bolt wont fit in the hole on the carb but the new one they sent won't fit in the old clip so if I just ran the the new bolt and tightened it down (talking about the throttle linkage) would I be fine running it that way?

Yeah I got the throttle figured out Scott, all that's left to do is fuel lines, electric choke wire, do all the vacuum lines and then crank it over get the timing done correctly then done.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
So tell me if I'm the only one with this problem here getting really discouraged with how long this has taken to do a simple swap, last night put on the throttle cable bracket well what has happened is it kinks the throttle cable cause the pedal to be hard to push down. Now tell me what my solutions are? Because we took rough measurements and the intake and carb only sit back about 1" further than the original and that's what is causing this whole problem so any ideas fellas? Or do I just need to bite the bullet and go buy a new cable?

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
What throttle bracket are you using? You may need to change that instead of your cable. It might be worth a shot if you can find something at a local parts store. Or there are cheap online options like this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/spe-24283/overview/

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
I'm just using everything that came with the Edelbrock carb, didn't buy anything else.
I'm sorry Duane I'm using the stock bracket from the q-jet.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
Does your bracket allow the connection to the carb work properly or is the angle off? Where is the cable kinked? Is it near the firewall, carb, or in the middle? Got a picture?

I like the idea of using the bracket you showed me but I would hate to get it and get the same results from it you know? I did notice it was adjustable which I think that's the positive to it all.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
The adjustability of the bracket is nice, but depending on how severe the kink is, it might not help you. I looked at a few lokar cables on summit's website to see what they say about overall length and most say you'll need to measure from the firewall to the carb bracket and add about 2" extra length. This will allow for engine movement. I'm assuming it will bind pretty badly or even kink if you have way more than that (6" plus??)

The kink is minor we have it narrowed down if it was shortened 1" overall in I would be fine, so if that adjustable bracket could solve that I would go that route because it's minor issue.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
I want you to know that I did not install this. I really don't like how it looks and I think it was a bit rushed when the PO put it together. I mean, who puts the return spring forward of the carb, instead of back toward the firewall? Oh, and it doesn't have as much play in the cable as I think there should be. I'd say he has about an inch of extra cable. And the throttle kick down cable is at an angle.
Needless to say, I'll be fixing this later on down the line. It works though, so it's not high on my priority list.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
I have a factory throttle bracket on my GTO. It's MUCH different than aftermarket items so it wouldn't help you at all.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
Sweet! Hince why you suggested the part to me
Okay now let me ask you this though how would you put the return spring towards the back of the firewall because I know for me I would have to cross over the throttle linkage and kick down. Now I'm not saying it's right but I know one of my friends on his dad's 76 that's how it's done and then a couple people on the forum has done it this way as well.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
Hmm... You know... I don't have a good suggestion with the bracket I have. I don't see a good place to connect it on the bracket, or the throttle lever. Not sure what brand it is though.
The link I posted earlier has a small piece that points downward near the throttle cable connection point. The return spring could connect to one of the two holes in that bracket, but I'm not certain how you would connect it to the throttle lever on the carb. The return spring on my GTO (using edelbrock 1405 carb) has a vacuum kickdown for the trans so the lower hole in the throttle lever is open... that's where the return spring is connected, then back to the throttle bracket.

Maybe that's something I'll be able to figure out for us because I'm not going to lie I don't care for it in the front too much, of course as a temporary hold that's what I'm going to do but I rather have it facing the back as well but there's got to be a way to do it. I like your kick down bracket from I think it's a 700r4? I need to get something like that.

Re: 1977 Chevy C10 known as SharkBite
Here's what I'd plan on using. Check out the instructions for this throttle cable. It shows the bracket with the kick down connection. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/lo...a/instructions
Keep in mind that this only works with the lokar throttle and kick down cables, not OEM.
