Default TV Cable Bracket for Dominator Carbs, please help!

When it comes to most things, I do pretty well, but this TV cable bracket is driving me nuts. I can't find one listed to work with a Dominator carb for a 700-r4. Has anyone else run into this before? Solutions?

Thanks

When i installed my 700R4 back in the 80's I just went to a junk yard and got the bracket off of some GM pickup. It's a custom cut and grind job when I installed my Demon carb about 4 years ago.

I tried some of the Adjustable TV brackets from Summit Racing and none seemed to work.

that's what I did for my Holley 670 Street Avenger. I used the Bowtie one for the Holley 4100 and pressures for their 2004R were just where they were supposed to be.

Yeah I know.. Makes finding a bracket a b**** lol


We called BTO on friday, the tech guy was out and we were promised a callback. No callback was forthcoming by 4pm and I wasn't in the mood to call back there again, plus we had other things to do over the weekend. I'll try my luck with them again monday and keep you updated.

Thanks for all the replies We're not planning on making our own bracket right now if we can help it, but keep posting pics of your installation, they might come in handy for others with the same problem; or us if we have to customize!
