To any of you guys running a Q-jet on your SBC conversions - I have a question.
Nearly every quadrajet throttle linkage I have seen has a C-shaped bracket that the throttle cable and the return springs connect to. The return springs generally run back, toward the firewall.
My linkage has the return springs running forward. They mount to a fabbed up mount welded to the alternator bracket, then, apparently, got hung from wherever the PO could find a spot to hang them from on the accelerator bracket. This seems precarious at best. I've tried to run the springs backward, to the hole in the bracket at the rear of the carb, but, as expected, they then hold the throttle open, instead of pulling it closed.
Anyone know how to remedy this? Anyone seen this bracket before?
Thanks!
