fi to carb

[tjdeerslayer37]

You mean the piece that holds the cable in? I hd to take a bracket off a random carbed 302, the holes didn't fit anywhere on my intake and I had to get it up higher to be level with my throttle anyways. I hacked it up and welded it to the end of a 3" piece of angle iron and made a flat plate at the bottom told bolt it to the intake.

I can't find the stock piece that is made for this purpose anywhere. There's a few different after market setups, I like the billet ones made by csr, they're like 45 bucks or something at summit though

The throttle cable bracket that fits, is from late 60's to early 70's Ford & Mercs. Or you can use Summit's G1419 bracket. The cable that a lot have used is the one for the 82-85 Mustang GT. I bought mine thru the local Ford dealer's parts dept.

so heres a before and after pic. weiand intake and holley 650 with the new valve covers

You're going to need another distributor. That one's a TFI unit, only advances the spark with a computer's input. It will fire, it just won't advance and retard the spark.

And that's a 600 cfm Holley and you've got it mounted backwards

Check my build out on www.cardomain.com/id/1mean02hd . Site is still in progress but you'll get the drift. I used a Lokar cable and drilled a hole in the top of the gas pedal for it to work and used a billet cable mount.

If you had had a Holley 2x4 intake, it would have been mounted correctly.
