Hello everyone here I have tons of questions if anyone actually has the time. So I have a 3711 edelbrock intake with a 1406 carb, ok I see that I need the spacer to clear egr valve. My problem is how to actually hook throttle cable to carb and do I need a new bracket, because this one dosent seem to work thanks any help

 

Welcome to the site, the bracket can be modified to bolt in place and there are throttle linkage adaptor kits available at your local auto parts store to attach the cable.

 

Welcome aboard.
I'd just ditch the EGR valve. What year car and engine? 75 and newer?

 

its a 86 442 with 68-76 olds 350 rocket I heard deleting the egr valve before would that actually work

 

Remove it unless needed for your local emissions laws. You will probably still need a spacer to clear the EGR block off plate, I did with a Holley. Can always use a generic bracket and maybe cable too.

 

here are supplies I purchased to connect cable to carb would this be right and is there anything else I will need to complete project such as the part that oldcutlass replied wit.

 

will the old throttle cable/kick down cable bracket actually work or will I need to purchase something else

 

Yes. Just fabricate a block off plate for it. Can't be a 68-73 350 though because they never had EGR. Has to be at least 74-76

 

You can make a block off plate with just a piece of sheet metal cut to fit and bolt it on. Then you wont have to worry about interference.

 

Case in point

 

I actually found a piece that covers it perfectly, came with the intake and yeah I figured it was between those years I heard the blue rocket was produced 75-76 so u jus might be right

 

what year is that motor allen r

 

It's the original 350 block the car was built with. The intake manifold came from a later 75 Cutlass. The stock 2 bbl intake is in the shed with it's 2GC carb. The 75 intake was used because at the time it's what I had.

re: Blue rocket. The 455 was blue from 1970-1976. Prior to 70 it was red. After 1976 there was no rocket 455. The biggest engine in 77 was the 403. For 1970 - 1976 the Olds 350 was gold.

 

75 76 350R where also blue

 

My '75 was metallic blue from the factory.
