Looking for a new aluminum intake for the street on my 67 coronet, that comes with the mounts for my throttle cable/kickdown linkage.. Not looking to "race" just take off some weight and upgrade the looks some Any recommendations?? Brand and supplier??

No such intake exists for a big block Mopar.
the throttle cable and the TV/kickdown linkage is attached to a separate bracket that is held in place by a manifold to head bolt ... what you have now, especialy if it's working correctly, is what you want to use.

If it isn't going to see the high side of 5800 RPM there really isn't enough to gain with any single 4 aluminum intake to be worth the bother.
That being said most of the "normal" height ones on the market will work with the stuff you have. AndyF makes an adjustable throttle/kickdown bracket for the hi-rise ones that won't.

John are you saying that no aluminum aftermarket exists? or that what I have on my car now doesn't exist??

in the last thread you started you were shown a picture of what your car is supposed to have and I asked you what intake and carb are presently on the car.
What is on you car right now that you want to change off???
Mopar NEVER bolted the kickdown linkage directly to the manifold on a big block in 1967 ... or any other year that I know of ... it pivots on a shaft that is on a bracket that is SEPARATE from the manifold .
Exactly. Since the OP hasn't shown or told us what he has now we can't really help him. He must have the wrong bracket if it won't work with any manifold. Maybe he has a bracket for a 6pk or hemi. Who knows might be a slant six or small block bracket. Somebody show him a pic of the correct bracket on a couple of common intakes.

Well, I keep forgetting to take a pic of my car intake/kickdown area. To be honest I havent looked at it for a couple of years, it was in storage in Oregon after I moved to Florida, and it just got her a week ago.. I have been packing this aluminum intake around and thought it would be nice to install it with a new edelbrock carb.
From what I can tell it is the stock intake that came on my car when it was built in late 66. If is the car in the pic. 67 R/T with its original 440/727. Everything else is original to the car in the engine compartment. Pretty sure it has a flat area that the cable/brackets sit on with a bracket that bolts to the intake manifold.
The Aluminum intake I have does not have a mounting/bolt hole on it for securing this bracket to. So I was wondering if I could purchase a new intake that had the mounting area for the bracket so I could install it on my car.. NON of the pics I see, for aluminum intakes for 440 engines, seem to have this THREADED BOLT hole that the bracket bolts into, for the cables..

You need to go back and A) look at your car , and B) look at the picture I posted in the other thread ... here I posted it for you .... the original bracket for your car does NOT bolt to the intake , NEVER did , it is held in place by the rearmost bolt that holds the intake to the head the intake you currently have is not incorrect, you swap the intake and put the bracket back in the same spot.
If you are going to run an Ebrock carb you need to get the Mopar adapter bracket so your stock linkage will work correctly.
Also DO NOT under ANY circumstances buy the Performer Series 750 , it is a total POS ... Buy a Thunder series AVS.

On top of this (edelbrock info) John but I do appreciate the info..
I answered this in my other post ( thanks) The bracket you show above I believe is correct ( yes I have the 3 piece linkage) but I think it bolts to the hole where the throttle cable bracket bolts on the intake manifold..

Quote:Maybe on cars converted for right hand side drive. No choke wells on the Mopar V8 engines where made on the drivers side produce ever for domestic consumption
Does your car have the choke mechanism connected?
If not, is the choke well on the driver's side?
Pictures.
Robert
Me thinks you meantto say the passenger side, correct 
they work well on both B and RB motors, especially on mild motors with converters that stall less than 4000 RPM IHTHs BTW, if you want to buy one of the stock throttle cable brackets in very good shape PM me

Is this some sort of test?
Quote:
No Cab, what I was getting at is whether the intake manifold is put on backward.
I've seen this done before, in my youth. A guy put his manifold on backwards and used a holley with a mechanical choke. So now the coil mounting holes that should be at the front near the distributor are in the back on the driver's side.
This guy also had some bracket rigged up for the throttle cable, which was only held down with one bolt, in one of the now incorrectly positioned holes. He had to occasionally pull over and tighten the bolt because his bracket would start to rotate.
If the OP is looking at the manifold backward, he may think that he coil mounting holes are actually holes for the throttle bracket. In this case, the choke well would be on, incorrectly, the driver's side.
The manifold can be put on backward if it has a symmetrical pattern for both the carb hold down holes and the carb bore holes. Depending upon the carburetor, there can be issues with the throttle components hitting the choke well. But, never underestimate the cleverness of a hotrodder to find workarounds.
The way the OP is referring to the "hole", singular, for the bracket, the more I am thinking he has the manifold backward.
But, a PICTURE would tell all.

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.

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.

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.

"I don't know how folks claim they can use the stock throttle and kickdown on an RPM without tweaking the cable and linkage north about an inch. I'm building mine now and it ain't happening with stock linkage. Andy's (ARE) bracket is awesome and the best solution I've seen."
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.

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..

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.
