Pro Flo 4 XT

Hey looking for a little help out there please. I’m installing the Edelbrock Pro Flo 4 XT. Just wondering if anyone had. Having issues with throttle cable and thermostat housing as the suggested one points right at my alternator. Any help would be appreciated thx

Re: Pro Flo 4 XT

When i helped my friend with his install we had to get a different thermostat housing cause the original one interfered. We used a lokar throttle cable. I will try to find the part numbers

looks great. The problem I’m having is I have air conditioning and my alternator is on drivers side. I notice the pedal doesn’t give you full throttle did you have to modify?

This car has aftermarket accessory brackets. We used a lokar adjustable throttle cable.

What was the transmission? 700R4? If so, what did you do for TV cable?
