I've put on an Edelbrock 2101 Performer manifold. The fit for the original throttle cable/TV cable/cruise control unit bracket is looking "iffy." Anyone else done this and have any tips? Or am I just going to have to "hot rod" it out?

If it's in the budget I would recommend a full throttle bracket plate that goes under the carb. This gives you the stability that the adjustable brackets you'll probably need to use don't.

If you put it under the carb, how do you seal the carb to the intake to keep it from a vacuum leak???:???: When I changed intake/carb, I bent the bracket to fit the carb. My problem is the AC solenoid for the carb.

I used my old brackets with that manifold and it works. Does look a little iffy if you find the correct one for the tv cable please post it so i can change mine

This is an edelbrock 2101 non-EGR performer intake manifold with an edelbrock 1806 AVS thunder series 650 cfm 4bbl on a GMPP 350/290 HP. I just had to make a short tab at the front to hold the spring. Also has an edelbrock AC idle up solenoid and an A6 compressor.

I am putting on the same intake and the 1806 carb, the instructions that came with the carb tells me to cut out 1/2 inch back between the 2 mounting holes on the stock throttle bracket and that will allow it to clear the intake manifold.

I didn't have to do that. I got it to fit, no problem. However, it IS a little bit farther back than it was originally. This requires adjustment to the cruise control rod and the TV cable.
