Hay all you EDELBROCK guys!!!!!

O.K. here is a good reason to post some pics of your motors I need to see how some of you ran the fuel line and throttle return spring on a edelbrock carb.I'd like to here some opionins on the spring I cant find a good place to hook it,,the fuel line I can do but it just looks funny comming out of the side of the carb like that.If you cant tell I'm switching from Holly,,Thanks

I used an aftermarket throttle cable bracket that had holes for the return springs.

When I had the edelcrok on my firebird I just used the bracket behing the AC to mount the spring.
A $5 braket like Apeiron mentioned works best I think Ive got a pic of the one I use in my truck at photopoint. http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewP...p=52415529&f=0
Sorry to see you plan on dumping the holley, holleys are all I use these days.

85 Camaro, 355/400 "drag car" in moth ***** 13.1@ 101mph on its last season run.
Plans: Possibly add N20 for next season.
82 Firebird, 305/350 currently moth balled.
Current plans: Rebuild 305 with flat tops instead of the dished "cups" for pistons or slightly built 327 with the 58cc heads from the LG4, Upgrade the 2:73 to 3:73 or 3:42 and replace the turbo 350 with 700r4.

EDIT: Yep thats the pic.

I run my fuel line from the carb, under all the hoses and stuff down and around... it looks fine to me... do you have an inline filter attached to it? If not I would highly recommend doing so.... that will also give you an excuse to add some length to the fuel line...
