What throttle cable bracket for 4160.

Hey everyone,
I bought a Holley 4160 to put on my 460. I now realize that the stock throttle cable bracket won't work. Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement bracket? I've seen a lot of options that are Chevy specific, but nothing for Ford so far.
Thanks!

On my 460 when I replaced the stock carb with a 4160 all I needed to do was buy the stud kit mainly because I wasn't smart enough to figure out if the stud came off the stock one, looked pressed to me.
I bought an extension but didn't need it, it didn't look like my bracket was going to allow it to line up, but once I started fiddling with it,
I saw it would still line up without binding. I'm not sure if brackets changed over the years, if you have a stock one or not.
This was for my 86. I'd guess truck brackets are all pretty much the same, I don't know about cars.
