Carb and linkage pics
Who here has gone from a stock QJ to an Edelbrock carb and intake. I need to see what you did for throttle cable and kick down brackets? nothing fits. Surprise..... Looks like grinding cutting and welding now?

I had to hacksaw off a small nub that Edelbrock did not leave enough room for the factory kickdown/cruise bracket. So i have that working, now just the throttle cable bracket.

This is getting ugly now.. The throttle cable is too long for the Edelbrock carb, there is no travel in the cable. Di you guys make an extension facing forward to stretch the cable out to be able to get WOT.

Many here have used a Lokar bracket and cable setup (Summit) that is VERY adjustable and works nicely. When I switched to a Holley, I had the same issues you mention and the Lokar setup worked out very nicely. I also updated my {69} 2 piece accelerator rod/lever setup to the later one piece rod - which also helped.
