Hooked it up direct ..PCV to carb.. plugged off the inlet on the canister and the vacuum came up by about 4"
Just a thought..

The cable should have enouth throw (length of exposed cable that protrudes from the end of the casing) to accommodate the Holley if it worked correctly with the Q-Jet
Are you using the center (lower) hole in the Holley for your attachment?
I see no reason why the stock cable shouldnt work...

Actually, between the two of us, that makes me the dumber since I didn't spring for the high dollar kit that came with instructions. I was cheap and bought the no-name universal kit. Dumb me huh? Oh well, it worked out great.
