so my friend gave me a working edelbrock carb. its a 1405. the throttle cable wont fit to the carb..tho on my holly it was too long..is there an adapter i can get somewhere (cant find anything on edelbrock.com) to make it work?? i would use my holly but 1 of the main jets (thats IN the barrel) is destroyed...

 

i never had a problem with my edelbrocks.. post a picture of your carb linkage.. i may be able to help

 

ok ill do that tomorrow

 

but form what i can see the edelbrock is wider, and the "go fast" lever is quite a bit farther forward..oh and i have a 351W with an edelbrock intake if that means anything...and the throttle cable is like 1-2" behind where it would connect to the carb..but yet the holly fits with no issues..

 

are you running a kick down cable? and what type of throttle cable bracket are you running?

 

i dont use the kick down..and im using the stock throttle cable

 

are you using the stock cable bracket?

 

yeah, is that the issue?

 

no.. i ran my stock 1 too.. but i believe it flipped it around the other way

 

well it seems as if the cable itself is too short..where it connects to the carb the carb would have to be back a lil ways..

 

I too have not had a problem.

 

oh, ok.. so you already have it bolted on to where the cable sits further forward?

someone please correct me if i'm wrong.. but isn't the I6 cable longer from the bracket tab to the end? mine may have had a I6 cable because it was originally an I6 truck

 

im lost in that ^^^^


but the cable sits farther behind the carb now..

 

here is what it looks like..but when i connect the cable the carb opens up about 1/4 way is there a way to remove the choke? cause it looks like i could run it on the inside of the bracket and it would work.. but the choke is in the way..




and YES thats zip ties holding the cable into the bracket..

i dunno if this would help or but but here ya go

 

Could very well be the way I'm looking at it, but can't you just move the bracket to the bolt in the intake?
