tunnel ram throttle linkage

Post by Tom Cowart »

Does anyone have pictures of throttle linkage for a tunnel ram with dual quad 450 Holly carbs? they are mounted sideways with 1 to 1 linkage ( Edelbrock 7071) down to the manifold base. My problem is how do I attach the throttle cable.
I cannot find any cable brackets to mount on the manifold base. Everything I have found is designed for the carb base.
Thanks for the help.

I already have the side mount linkage installed and working well ( full action to the carb stops ) but no way to connect the throttle cable to the linkage.
This is on a 350 chevy motor.
Thanks

Tom, you can look into a bell-crank set up since you are running them side saddle. You might need to fabricate a bracket to either mount on one of you intake bolts or even coming off the manifold. Look at Speedway Motors in ther Sprint Car area. I am sure Jegs and summit both have them available too.
