BigCav 464 Posted July 7, 2014 Has anyone used the universal style billet throttle body brackets on a holley base with a factory cable? i dont have any of the stuff here in my hands at the moment to look myself if the factory cable isnt suitable what cable did you end up running? My Setup is a zk fairlane, 351c, factory cable running to a impco 425 on a holley base plate to weiand 4 barrel manifold using combination of modified factory throttle brackets on manifold studs, its an eye sore and im up for a new throttle cable too so may aswell try something out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted July 7, 2014 Yes I have and the purchased a piece from summit, I'll get the part number, worked a treat. 1 BigCav reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted July 7, 2014 TBH Cav having used a billet style bracket and a Redline unit my custom bracket that sat over the back stud on the right hand side gave the best feel and worked the best IMO.I'd give it to ya but I gave it to Ricky when he bought my carb and stuff. Not saying it looked better cos it didn't but it worked ALOT better IMO. Just saying bruz... 1 BigCav reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted July 7, 2014 I have the crs bracket, 99% the same as the one above and then got this adapter which bolts on.

hendrixhc 10,921 Posted July 7, 2014 I got one on the XE. I found it best flipped upside down and using the GM linkage on the carby with the cable feeding in from the front. Gives full throw on the carby and doesnt foul on anything. Im also using a 1" phenolic spacer and a drop base air filter. And yes i know i have to get the return spring chrome plated! This bracket i got was $50, no name brand. It looks to be pretty good quality though - no weak parts or anything. 2 slydog and XTREME KARTS XF reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigCav 464 Posted July 7, 2014 lmao, what brand was it? couldnt see a brand on the package so assumed, non of the online photos show the shape of the cable retainer so cant really tell which brand will work etc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted July 7, 2014 I bought it from some seller called Ghostauto. Just tried to find a re listing for the item but its not coming up as re listed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted July 7, 2014 Personally if i was buying another one i would go Aeroflow. Never had any issues with any of their products. Only downfall is its about double the price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted July 7, 2014 From an old fellas memory i had to put a small cut in the cable retainer to fit the inner cable through and then the retainer nuts went each side of the bracket and tightened up perfectly. I could adjust the position of the cable easily to get the correct throw on the linkage. Also need to buy a 1/4" throttle ball to bolt on to the carby linkage. 1 BigCav reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZXD 2,328 Posted July 7, 2014 I got mine through summit, you can get any colour you want as long as it's blue, black, red or aluminium. The actual bracket is cvr or crs and the Ford adaptor is summit. All up including freight to nz was under a $100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hendrixhc 10,921 Posted July 7, 2014 This picture shows the cable in the bracket when it was up the other way. I found it just knocked the air filter based on WOT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigCav 464 Posted July 7, 2014 This picture shows the cable in the bracket when it was up the other way. I found it just knocked the air filter based on WOT. with my impco 425 i have to use a 3" k&n with a raised base and a 1" air filter spacer so i doubt ill have clearance issues underneath thanks heaps for the pics 1 hendrixhc reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted July 7, 2014 If u get the summit one it comes with a bracket that you just need to run a thin cut off wheel thru to fit. They are way cheaper than the brand name ones. I run one on the burnout car with just one return spring (and factory return on the cable) and found it has good feel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ronny 204 Posted July 8, 2014 I use the CVR (same shape) and it works with the standard cable I went from the back though to make it look neater If possible you want the cable and return spring at opposite points Pulling and returning from the same point/end can wear out the shaft/carby 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blu xe 825 Posted July 27, 2014 Mine was a cvr one as well. I only used one of the return springs cause with both on the pedal feel was way to heavy. One worked nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
