Re: Finishing up Carb swap from TPI
You can get brackets from Jeg's or Summit to handle the new throttle cables. When I did this on another car I just fabbed a bracket that mounted to a boss on the intake and then I cut out a square to mount the throttle cable to. Did not have the auto trans though. Just used a piece of heavy sheet metal, worked fine but not pretty ...

Re: Finishing up Carb swap from TPI
I messed with the cheap Mr. Gasket bracket on my car. Finally launched it in the woods and bought the CSR bracket and the extra adapter for the TV cable. I used the TCI geometry corrector. All of this worked with my stock TPI cables. However, I would like to ditch the throttle cable and get the shorter one for the carb equipped cars.

Read the "TV 101" article; look for your carb in the liist at the left; open the catalog; stuff like that.

Re: Finishing up Carb swap from TPI
Ok i went ahead and got the geometry corrector from summit instead of tvmade easy because, it was cheaper and ive been reading it has worked for many people on here just fine. now i just need a tv cable and a throttle cable i cant seem to find where to get them at reasonable price? anybody have them that they would sell me or point me in the right direction where to buy?
