    I purchased the Lokar AOD TV cable and bracket from Summit Racing and cant figure out how to install. Read the instructions on the bracket but it doesnt work. Have a Holly 2bbrl. Does anyone have pics of the linkage hooked up to the carb? 4bbrl or 2bbrl I think im missing something but cant tell.
    Thankyou

    You need the mounting bracket, it's separate from the cable.

    I have the cable and the bracket and am following the instructions. But the bracket when put on the Carb bolt comes too close the the Carb linkage and the springs that came with it are way too long. Maybe the bracket was made for a 4bbrl and wont work with the two. Idk.

    I drilled a hole on the stock throttle cable bracket and ran my lokar cable through it and to the bottom of the throttle linkage on my Edelbrock carb. Look closely in this pic and you will see it under the throttle cable.
