Default What throttle cable bracket you running?

Well I'm getting ready to finish up my re-install, but now I see that my old throttle bracket I used with the Victor Jr intake isn't going to work on the RPM Air Gap. I have a new Lokar Hi-tech throttle cable that I'm going to use with the Mighty Demon carb.

Show me what your using, what works, and what the part numbers are.

Thanks. With any luck, I'll be firing it up this weekend

Even the cruise control works. My friend Brad really knows his stuff.






If you can't find one, I could ask him to make you one. He's really busy, would probably charge you.


Interestingly enough, I also have a demon carb on top of my airgap.

That turned out nice, similar to the one I had used on my Vic Jr intake. I could probably have that one modified again (cut and welded), but I ended up ordering a Lokar bracket to try, hopefully it will be secure with little chance of movement during operation

Thanks

Glad you got something worked out. This perplexed us a bit before we decided to fab something. Good luck!

CSI..it's any color you want anodized in aluminum, and it's adjustable.

Pretty trick for a bracket.

The CSI and Holley (similar) are both really trick pieces and if they weren't ~$80 I would have chose one of them, just can't spend that much right now . I recieved my Lokar bracket yesterday and it looks pretty nice ($20). I will be installing it this weekend and with any luck, setting the timing and taking it for a drive

None of those seem to accept transmission kickdown cable.
