Hi Guys, I have a new 700R4 tranny bolted in. I'm using the original Q-Jet. Is there a bracket that will hold the TV cable, and the original throttle cable? Or is a new throttle cable needed. Found a bracket at Jegs, but I am not sure about the cable connections.
Check with bowtieoverdrives.com . . . they have several bracket options. I bought their TV Made Easy cable and brackets, but I know they sell the standard TV cable and pretty sure they have a bracket for you. If they don't, may be worth a quick call to them and they can tell you what you need.
If it's the original Q-Jet, and you don't mind getting your hands dirty, you can also swap linkages from an 80's A-Body or F-Body to get the OEM linkage designed for a 700R4.
Whoops - just realized you have a 73. This only applies if you have an M4M(75 or later Q-Jet, on vettes these will have a "17058xxx" casting number, but can be identified by having an air horn with a 2" notch in the choke flap (which matches a 2" wide extrusion in the casting). The extrusion (and corresponding air door notch) in a 4M is only slightly larger than the vent hole.

I got my tranny from BTO. They have been very good to work with. The bracket for the Q-Jet they included will not allow the original throttle cable bracket. Looking at aftermarket like they suggested, but think I will weld part of their bracket onto the original. A gentleman responding to this did just that. Go C-3's!
just going thru this to get ready for my 700r4 swap in my '72, bought the BTO setup
the BTO ez tv cable set up comes with a plate that goes under the carb
but unfortunately it fouls with the std '72 vette quadrajet throttle cable mount.
so i made a bracket at work to hold the throttle cable and the ez tv cable
original
my attempt, excuse the poor welding
Very Nice! I had the same idea, so it was great to see how you addressed this puzzle. You did a real nice job with that IMO. Have you put it into service, and is it working well. Thanks for sharing!
being downunder, things take a bit longer to ship here.
that's why i made my own bracket when i found out the BTO wouldn't work with my original setup.
