Default Throttle linkage for BB conversion?

Most of the parts are in so I should be able to crank it in about a week. I still have a few things to figure out. One of which is what do I need for throttle linkage? I have the old throttle cable but I do not have a bracket. What type of setups are you guys using? I am running a Mighty Demon on an AIRGAP intake with a manual trannie so a kick down is not needed. Pics would be great if you have any.

Thanks

I'm using this one. Got it form summit. They also have one without trans cable slot. Made by Holley.

I bought a Lokar throttle cable and a CSR throttle cable bracket.

Which air cleaner base are you going to use?

The CSR won't fit under the drop bases.

I just put on a Lokar bracket and cable tonight. Smooth as silk and fits perfect. It's a universal cable, so some trimming required, but the hardest part was getting under the dash. Took about two hours with all the in and out and repairs I had to make to the pedal (love those surprises!).

There aren't many choices for a 4speed and a Holley or Demon carb. Right now I'm using the stock 4speed bracket which are getting hard to find and $$ if you don't already have one. I'm looking to replace it with the Lokar setup mentioned above.

Thanks guys. Chris I am going to run the same L88 style air cleaner as you have. Do you guys remember the Lokar part #'s that you bought?

Thanks
