I am getting ready to swap my stock 273 4brl intake for the D4B I aquired some time back. Pretty sure the stock throttle cable bracket will not fit. What works with an eddy600? The one in the picture below on PettyBluDart"s motor is slick but I've only seen these with holleys not the carter/eddy style.

why do you think it wont fit? With dads stock setup and his eddy 600, it fit perfect....stock intake of course, but there is a little extra in the hard cable, so if the
D4B isnt too much higher, you should be fine. We had to get the extra linkage from Eddy for it

I don't know Steve the D4B looks way taller. I already know I have to use a drop base and a turndown on the fuel in for this thing to clear the hood. You used one? This manifold is for late 64/65 heads only with the weird angle smaller intake bolts. Pretty rare piece. I found this one years ago on EBag.

Never used one Wally, only 273 experience is with dads. Only issues we have to figure out is the 5"throat opening on carb to fit his orig commando air breather base(4"). we had to "nip" the bracket a bit on the backside in order to bring the cable approx 1/8-1/4" forward. We had to do this to get it to idle at proper rpm. Good luck Wally. I have an extra stock throttle bracket if you want to try??
 
If you are talking about using an Eddy LD4B in place of the stock intake, it should work. we swapped an LD4B on a stock 318 2 bbl engine and the throttle bkt and linkages fit ok.

You can also check Mancini Racing for a 4 bbl throttle bkt if you want one.

Nope D4B, for 65 heads
