Title: WTH!? Are bbc manifold mounted throttle brackets for a tunnel ram fairy gold dust?
Post by: Fbpd227 on March 29, 2023, 05:46:43 PM

I know it sound straight up stupid, but I have been searching endlessly for a NON STOCK type bracket for my jet boats throttle cable, that mounts down under the rear two intake manifold bolts, so I can finally get my foot throttle and TR linkage connected and drive my junk for the first time in 5 years!!! No place that I?ve searched on the web shows a polished, painted, what ever- don?t even care at this point- bracket, that I can just simply bolt down under the back two bolts on the Weiand TR and fab up my cable retention clamp. I was going to try and fab something, but the thought of a simple bracket purchase and bolt on set up seemed the right way to go- but HELL NO!!! Am I searching  wrong? Am I missing something? I have side saddle Holley style carbs and the linkage all in place- center bolt bracket mounted, but lost as can be on sorting out the Morse cable to the dual side saddle bracket! Anyone have pix, advice, thoughts, simple solution, or something, PLEASE!!!
