I am changing to vortec heads and an Edelbrock vortec intake, my '76 350 has the tv cable bracket that bolts to the rear intake bolts which obviously won't work with the new intake. It will also have a holley carb with the throttle arm geometry correction bracket. Who sells the bracket to mount to the intake?
Thanks in advance.

 

Hey Jay. For my car I used a Mr. Gasket throttle and tv bracket for my vortec set up. I am using the Air Gap and I have no where to put a bracket. The Mr. Gasket bracket mounts to the bolt on the carburator. I used a holley 650 dp and a edelbrock 600 nd it worked on both. I'll try to get the part #'s for it.

Also you might have to get a longer cable.....

 

here I thought the heads eliminated the middle intake bolts, not the end bolts?

 

The heads have 2 bolts at each corner, but they point straight up, instead of at an angle. I have the Vortecs, and Edelbrock Performer intake. I bought a kit for the TV cable from Bowtie Overdrives. I saw them in a recent issue of Car Craft (I think). I'm in the process of installing it now, and it should do the trick. The kit comes with a plate that goes under the carb, and has the bracket on there.
Sorry, it's hard to explain. There website is www.700r4.com. Go to the sitemap, and look for "TV made easy". they have some pics there.
Hope that helps.

 

You might look into the Holley bracket that mounts to the rear carb stud. P/N 20-95 for about $17.00.

I have a Holley sitting on an Edel Performer RPM manifold. Works fine.

I replaced my TV cable mainly because the tip was broken. It was an adjustable type of cable that (I think) I would have needed anyway.

Sorry for the delay, as I was interrupted by some unimaginable news alert.

 

Or if you have a table vice and a grinder you can modify your stock piece to work with the vortec intake. I have a picture on my website of a modified bracket. It still bots to the rear intake bolt and slides like a 'C' onto the mounting bolt for the coil.
It took me maybe 10-15 minutes. If you're interested just e-mail me, I'll send you the specific link. Right now I'm tired from this busy and tragic day.
