quadrajet to holley throttle/kickdown help

[chappys4life]

Moving from the stock quadrajet carb on my 78 blazer that is toast to a brawler 600cfm that is a holley 4160 style carb. For now I am using the stock manifold with an adapter (plan on getting a new intake & headers but will do it when i pull the motor to replace all the gaskets) to get it running. When I bolted on the carb I noticed the throttle bracket will need an adapter as its too far away. Also the trans kickdown cable is on the passenger side stock and the carb has the kickdown on the driver side.

Wondering if this has been ran into and anyone knew the adapters needed.

I used a CSR bracket for my EZ EFI setup which has a 4150 holley base and throttle linkage.
Had to modify the spring hookup to work with my setup.









Above is the accel cable linkage hookup I came up with. A quadrajet linkage stud, cut down and rethreaded to fit the FAST throttle body lever.

So today went to install the bracket, am I missing something? The cable for the throttle doesn’t line up right and my lockdown cable (the square plastic part) in no will will fit in the bottom part.

This is the bracket I ordered form summit.RESTOPARTS Manufactured KM02019 RESTOPARTS® Manufactured Throttle Cable Brackets | Summit Racing
Zimmer's looks a lot nicer.


I'm thinking you need this bracket.

You might also need a different throttle cable stud.

Holley has several on their website. Measure the stud on your old carb to get the correct diameter.

My transmission kickdown bracket is separate from the throttle bracket.
