OK, sorry for the delayed response ( I only have online access at work).. I am getting old and and its been a long time since I assembled the engine..
Johns pic of the bracket that bolts to the very back intake bolt is correct.. I must of been thinking of the throttle cable bolting to this bracket.. thanks for all of the help on here, if I want to use the aluminum intake I have I will use one of Andy's brackets.
You don't need that bracket the factory one will work w/ almost every intake on the market.
Exactly ... he still hasn't said what intake he has ...
OK, Manifold has been in storage for 2 years, not sure what is it besides a dual plane.. Probably an edelbrock...
As long as it is not an RPM you should be fine using your current linkage setup , make sure to readjust it after the change over.
thanks again John

The best (and one of the most stock looking) intake is the Indy 440-2d and you can make the stock throttle bracket work with a simple spacer between the bracket and the intake...you want to do this anyway since the carb pad is a bit higher and the spacer keeps the throttle cable angle the same relative to the support. Although it is bigger and freeer flowing than the Performer RPM, the carb pad is actually a good bit (maybe 3/8" ) LOWER so filter clearence is better for 67-earlier B body cars.
The 440-2d also has the tapped bosses for the coil mount.
FWIW, I prefer the later 2 bolt style throttle /kickdown bracket (maybe 74 and later)
it uses the bolts in front of #5 and behind #7 and still looks factory.

That's a good intake but probably overkill for what I can only assume is a STOCK 440 .

Yes, stock 67 440/375.. Bored 40 over, Original stock exhausts, stock intake, original carb ( carter)....
Looks like I have a Edelbrock performer..

I didn't have an issue, I added a 3/4" piece to the and of the cable and there are plenty of threads on the stock kick-down linkage to adjust. I also had to add some lenght to the stock 6-pack cable on this car, due to the Stage VI heads and carb spacers. Takes about 10 minutes.
Picture please.
At work now, i'll try later but it's like this... I took a flat piece of metal, rounded the edges, drilled holes and bang done.

N/P. Just make sure you make the holes big enough so they pivot easy. You also want to make sure you have full extention and the carb(s) open 100% (just as you would with any set-up)
