ArdWrknTrk Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I'm guessing theres probably an extension since it probably doesn't fit between the oil filter and timing cover? Indeed there is! Did you toss yours out with the old engine? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weberman Posted May 20, 2020 Author Share Posted May 20, 2020 Indeed there is! Did you toss yours out with the old engine? I've never had one, theres only been the small ones on the motors (besides the 91 F150 one). Looks like I may go to the pick n pull tomorrow. They only have 1 truck up there thats a bullnose, but I cant imagine anyone else would take it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a 86 and 79 with Windsors up there. Hopefully either of those will have it, if not oh well. I know the aftermarket has me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are people doing for throttle brackets? Mine kinda sticks, hits the choke linkage, and idles high. It won't rest on the idle screw unless I bring it forward. I also have a second spring on the carb too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure the cable is sitting tight at the pedal end? That just sounds weird to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gary Lewis Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Edelbrock carb and intake The issue is that aftermarket intakes frequently relocate the carb a bit from factory, usually backwards. So the factory throttle bracket doesn't work. What I've done is to cut the bracket basically in half, weld a piece of strap to one side, bolt it on, and slide the other side around until it is lined up right and there is just a tiny bit of slack in the throttle. Use vice grips to hold it there, pull it off, and weld it up. Some place I have pictures of that if you need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I may still have the factory one/whatever came with the other motor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm I got away with using the Edelbrock supplied risers and just a touch of slotting the bolt holes of the factory bracket, I believe.
