I'm switching carbs on my '65 Satellite 361 from 2bbl to 4bbl.

The bracket that holds the throttle cable and kick-down linkage needs to be a different "wider" geometry. The two carbs are different widths, so the "new" bracket has to be offset.

I'll surf around and research what's for sale off a 4bbl '65 Big Block.. go to a salvage yard, or I can even shop-fabricate some kind of extension plate... but I figured I'd ask you experts here...

Is there some easy solution to changing these brackets for different carbs?

Cheers,

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.

Thanks Rocky - that's basically what I ended up doing - looked at the aftermarket stuff and realized it's not a bolt-on deal with the throttle cable and kick down.. So I modified what I had on hand: Grabbed a little 1/8" steel plate a fabbed a short extension for the factory bracket... made a little extension to get the throttle cable to reach properly..

Got it done in time to test drive around the block, then take my boys out for burgers & ice cream.. made the final throttle adjustment in the parking lot..
