Did you need an adapter to mount the TV cable on the throttle arm, or will the stud for the kick down cable work?

calling all those using a quadrajet on your rig with the 700r4!

I've got a q-jet/700R4 in one of my Camaros...I don't recal exactly how it hooks to the throttle arm. But I want to say I hooked it to the stud for the kickdown. I know that carb had a Th350 cable on it originaly.
I think the bigger issue is that you have the correct bracket and have the cable correctly.

lots of qjet carbs have holes on the arm to add the stud for other options.
I guess I don't understand the question because a lot of trucks came with Quadrajet and 700R4. Here's a pic of the carb that was on my truck with the 700 trans:
Here is the linkage diagram - bottom left is Quadrajet
The TV cable goes on the stud in the back. The "hole" is for the throttle return spring. The long black stud is for cruise control. Of course the top one is the throttle cable.

Here's what I'm working with. I got this carb from phreddei16 here on CK5, and I'm pretty sure it was for an older rig, ie TH350 or 400. I have the right bracket for the cables that mounts to the back two bolts on the carb, which I believe is actually a TCI piece.
pics! don't mind the throttle cable not hooked up, it was, but i lost the stupid clip

That last pic shows the TV cable hooked to the right spot . Now adjust it and your set .
There are 4 things that can hook to the linkage :
1. TV cable on the stud with NO clip slot , like yours is attached .
2. throttle cable on the short stud with clip slot
3. cruise control cable on the LONG black bolt on stud with clip slot .
4. springs from rear of intake to hole with plastic bushing . NO front of intake for quadrajet return springs .

I don't see any problem with what you have, as long as you can get the TV cable adjusted right.
If you look at the diagram I posted above, it shows the critical TV geometry. Just measure what you have...
