    Im going to order a 1" spacer for the new QJet Im putting on and I need some help locating a new throttle cable bracket since I think Im going to have an issue with my stock one since the carb is going to be an inch higher...

    One way to do it would be to get the bracket off a '80's rear wheel drive car. It cost me about $5 total to get in and out of a u-pull yard with the bracket.

    I did this to get the correct mount to convert to a 200-4R transmission. The bracket sets on top of the rear q-jet base plate mounts. You could just cut off the transmission portion of the bracket for a cleaner look.

    I can post a picture for you later this evening when I get home if needed.

    Best Wishes,

    Some generic piece from Jegs or Summit would be ideal for me. The hours I work its impossible to get to a yard...

    I just dont know the "correct" term for the piece I need.

    Cullen,
    Don't waste your money. All you need to do is space the bracket you have up 1" with a longer bolt. The height difference won't make any difference besides orientation of the cable mount.

    I added a spacer with no problems. One thing you can do if you want is bend the bracket to shoot the cable up.

    Good advice guys. Thanks. I just wanted to have everything I needed at my disposal so I didn't have any trips to the parts store in the middle of the install.
