There is a special adapter bracket that you are supposed to bolt on to the throttle linkage for Holley and Edelbrock carburetors when using them on a Mopar.
Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat

Likely if you called O'reillys & asked for the Chrysler throttle adapter for eddy carbs they'd easily be able to look it up/order it for you & their turnaround is pretty fast. After you get the adapter on there if you still need more cable length then cut a piece of flat metal & drill a hole at end end to extend it & that worked once for me

You're looking for something like this: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/edl-1481/overview/There are other options though http://www.summitracing.com/search/depar...Order=AscendingYou MAY still need a longer throttle cable, but the adapter is usually a necessary first step to avoid having to rig anything up dangerously. I'll throw in that I've swapped 273 2 barrels out for 440 4 barrels and not needed to change the throttle cable. Your mileage may vary though

Replaced my 318 in my 74 challenger with a 340. Put a Edelbrock manifold and carb. on, but it seems the throttle cable distance is too short, it won't reach using the 318 throttle cable bracket...etc. Is there a special bracket for that?
You may need one of these to make it work with your 318 bracket?
It bolts to your 318 bracket and relocates the mounting position.

those clamps will relocate the clamping point of the aluminum ferrule (I've used em & not sure where they come from) but you may also need to extend the little swiveling metal piece on the end of the inner cable to reach the carb horizontle pin. I just cut a piece of metal & drilled 2 holes in it one at end end then bolted it on with mini bolts/nuts

I am running the exact same installation on my 73 318 E body. I have an automatic transmission so I had to deal with the transmission throttle lever as well. The height and geometry would not allow any of the stock pieces to fit.
I used the Beauchillon engineering solution to make it all work. It has been in the car for 3,000 miles and other than a loose bolt on the transmission end mount, it has worked flawlessly. I am using my stock accelerator cable.
