Default Anyone had this problem with installing an intake?

The bracket that holds the return cable on the rear driver side of the intake will not clear the groove on the intake. Does it need to be removed and cut to fit? Or is this part something that's only needed on a QJet? I'm replacing my QJet with an Edelbrock right now also.

On mine I just cut the bracket a little so it wouldn`t hit the grove on the intake

I'll do that tomorrow then. That's what I was thinking.

Another question I have for anyone is regarding a 3701 intake and a 1400 carb. I got the EGR adapter for this thing and can't figure out what to do with it. Has anyone here used this adapter?
