Edelbrock linkage?
Does anyone have a 1406 Edelbrock carb on a 302 with a auto trans? I have been having trouble finding a good spot for the return spring. It binds up and the throttle sticks or first thing in the morning when I hit the gas it will stick. Right now I have the return spring going to a bracket to the front of the intake. I would love to see pictures on how you have your hooked up. Thanks!

Just a suggestion for you, I had one of those on my chevy 350, I used a bracket that was on the back of the intake manifold (trans side) and put the spring there. Maybe you could make a bracket in the same place and try that, I never had any problems.

I think summit sells a kit. When I went from EFI to carb, I just bent the throttle body bracket and took the end of the spring and screwed it down to the intake. Probably not the best way, but it worked perfect.

I was going to ask you what did you do for the kickdown arm on the tranny. I don't see it in the picture but you have a C4 so what did you do about that?? Looks factory indeed!
