As low as your car already is i dont blame you

[Darren]

Any chance of modifying the motor mount situation to gain some clearance?

In short, I rather not.

Darren, I have a few thoughts...

1) Killer bracket! That piece looks great!

2) Did it solve your throttle tension issue? If so, and it's worth saving....

3) In the first picture, it looks like the bracket is anchored at the carb between two nuts. Is it possible to remove the first set of nuts? So the stack-up would be carb flange, linkage bracket, then nuts? That would drop the bracket down the thickness of one nut.

4) It looks like you are hitting on the throttle springs, and the sliding bracket for the cable?

Can you drill two new holes in the front slide, and move those springs down (see photo below)? You might want new, longer springs, rather than stretching those, to keep the throttle tension low.

Lastly, can the adjustable bracket at the back for the cable be adjusted rearward? There seems to be plenty of slot for it. Might require a different cable at that point.

Thanks!

Yes this bracket solved my gas peddle issue and the car idles great (was another issue I was having with the springs not having enough tension the other way) The peddle feels great and idles better. I really do want to try and use this.

1. Yes the bracket is sweet, thanks to BigJon for finding this one a much cheaper version then the trickdflow or anything else out there.

2. Yes solved all of the issues with the peddle and idle

3. Yes the nuts where there in the first picture. In the last picture they are actually removed and the bracket is as low as it could go. The spacers where there for the old bracket and I just wanted to see how it fit.

4. Yes it is hitting the springs and then where the throttle cable connects. I could move the cable back it would require another cable (this was one I had to modify that I had at the house already and thats where it fit the best. But I could get a longer one and move it back that is a option for that problem. I didn't do it solely cause I didn't know how to fix the spring side.

Can you explain how you would move the springs lower? I dont really follow what you are saying. I could space the bracket itself on a downward angle and have the springs go down away from the carb on a angle. Is that what your kinda saying? Might make the clearance I need to get the drop base in there?

Additionally I did try to run the bracket upside down, wouldnt work. I can space the back away but I am sure the base might hit the cable tho now that I think about it... As the cable goes under the base to get to the carb.


I did find this filter:

and I could use my K&N open element top with a regular base... It would be tight with the hood, and actually the hood much close down on the top of the filter, but it would latch. I think...

or try to modify the bracket by spacing?

those pictures reminded me I need to get that ugly alternator out.

If anyone has any off the wall suggestions, know where I can get a custom filter made or has any drop bases I can try let me know. The drop base I have from what I know is the biggest drop made, other then that I have a normal one...

[Darren]

So on the search to fix things I didn't like about the car I moved to the gas peddle. Mine has always been like pushing a brick and was very hard. It's the throttle bracket and return spring issue. So here is what I had:



And this way the peddle was rock hard. Made driving it a chore and made trying to run someone even harder.

Solution for peddle:



Flat hood issues tho:



Because the drop base for the filter to run the flat hood hits the new fancy bracket...



Hood won't close.

So fixing one issue brought me back to a issue I had long ago and before.

Fun times!

Sounds great!

[JoeliusZ28]

Cant wait to hear it in person it sounded good before

[C2YT]

Sounds good!

[bigjon88]

It's Not that loud

[DynoDave]

Sounds healthy.

Yeah, you'll skin a few snakes with that. But you still have some clearance.

I should get a pop can for the picture. There's no clearance lol.
