I almost went at this project before remembering I need a different throttle bracket and possibly a different upper transmission link.

This is a Performer manifold and a Carter AVS going on a 1967 automatic Coronet originally set up with a 2 barrel Carter BBD. I am using an adapter with the manifold, but just the thin 1/8 in. plate type, not a thick spacer type.

From what I can tell just from searching, I should get the Eddy 1843 or 1481 throttle bracket adapter (apparently it's just a color difference?) and possibly one of their rod extensions?

I also found mention of Eddy part no 8021 for a 2-4 bbl 318 conversion, but some list it for early Holley double pumper setups which is not the OE carb on my car by any measure.

I don't really have any means of fabricating anything short of bending things with pliers and cutting things in half so I'd rather just buy a couple of pieces and be done with it.

I know those cable kits are out there, but I'd rather not drop $80-120 if there's a bracket/hardware store parts combination I can use to get my original linkage to work correctly.

Heck, do I even need anything different from my stock hardware? I thought the basic 318/360 Performer was more or less an aluminum version of a stock spread-bore manifold.
