I can't say from personal experience, and I know people have said they used TBI cables on their carb conversion, but I'd guess you either need to use a different cable housing bracket, or get carb cables.

Re: throtle cable

had same issue after tbi to carb and drove me crazy fo a month.I used the holley bracket but had to make it set back about 1 inch to get the throttle cable in the right position. tv cable is self adjusting but in my case the cable was never getting extended all the way. what i did was drill a hole through a bolt and used a nut simalar to a brake cable stop from a bike,this moved the "stop" on the end of the cable 1" closer....after that the tv cabled adjusted correctly using the procedure to adjust it. It has to be pulled pretty hard to adjust correctly but after that mine is working perfectly. if you need a pic please let me know

Re: throtle cable

also i know that summit sells a universal cable kit that has a wider adjustment area but my stock one works great and a new cable was like $25 instead of the $50 for the univ...Good luck

Re: throtle cable

i bought the bracket that i am using from oreilly auto parts. it is made by mrgasket. it allowed me to use my tbi cables and it didnt cost much. now the black bracket that you see is what i put on it to make it a little stronger. i believe that i have also seen edelbrock brackets that will work well also.
