bigboy620 Posted April 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 Got my holley carb. The throttle bracket on the bottom side hits the rocker cover. Can I just cut part of the bottom for clearance? The only thing going to that bracket should be the throttle cable?,and that connects at the top. Quote Link to comment

Str8jacket Posted April 15, 2018 Report Share Posted April 15, 2018 You can cut the bracket off. Has the carb been built for boost? Referenced power valves etc? 1 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted April 16, 2018 Report Share Posted April 16, 2018 That lower portion of the bracket is for a kick down or TV cable on GM automatic transmissions. 2 Quote Link to comment

Str8jacket Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Meaning I don't need it right? Thats right. You have a manual gear box. The kick down is for autos 2 Quote Link to comment

Stoffregen Motorsports Posted June 9, 2018 Report Share Posted June 9, 2018 All the small bits and pieces are taking longer . It always happens this way. The last 10% of any job takes about 40% of the time. This is why I chuckle when someone here says they're going to do an engine swap, and they've never done one. They think they can do it in a weekend. 2 Quote Link to comment

Takes much time and money. Im in no rush. I just know I will not stop smiling when I first start it. My DUI distributor should be here tuesday. 3 Quote Link to comment
