detent cable bracket

Short of a junk yard where can I find one. Car was a tpi, now has a carbureted 327. The braket I have on it now works good for throttle cable, but my detent cable angles from brakett to carb. Carb shop says I need one from a camaro

Quadrajet. The bracket I have now mounts to manifold.

Re: detent cable bracket

I use http://www.summitracing.com/parts/EDL-8030/ ... it's adjustable, but I had to modify it a bit by drilling a few holes to extend the bracket for the TV cable a bit closer to me Edelbrock carb. It also mounts to manifold - but summit does have some that mount to the carb. Edelbrock makes another one that is not chrome but same design, about $15 cheaper.

Re: detent cable bracket

Do you have a pic of it installed. Also can you use cruise control with it

Don't remember on the cruise - don't see why not - I removed all my cruise control stuff. Here's pics:

For the record, TH700R-4's don't have a "detent" cable. They have a "throttle valve" cable.

The difference is significant.
