'68 318 to carbed Magnum 5.2: Check my checklist
Honestly, sometimes these little problems can be downright sadistic.
Case in point, the throttle adapter bracket finally came in for this thing. I went through the effort of locating a proper factory throttle/kickdown stud to ensure the throttle cable would sit parallel with its mounting bracket, as the current Holley studs place the throttle cable outboard of the bracket next to the kickdown.
HAH!
Go figure, turns out this thing is perfectly engineered for the Holley stud. :banghead:
Plus, the throttle return springs from the 2 barrel application are WAY too stiff. I'm going to try some generics, but I hope I can find a factory-looking two-spring setup that isn't this stiff.
