there's room under the carb nut but making a bracket and mounting it there would most likely interfere with the throtle rod when the gas pedal is pressed. and i can move the bracket forward but it seems the TV cable is at its limits and cant move forward anymore so im going to move it back an inch +/- and extend the treaded rod. i'd leave it where it is now but the rod is barely threaded into clevise by maybe a turn or two. other than that the bracket is sturdy enough to handle the movement of TV cable, it doesn't flex or bind at all. its a bit bulky though, i might cut it down a bit.

I am having the same problems with my '65 marlin I would be interested in seeing your solution.
the way I have it hooked up now seems like it is preventing WOT of the carb...

OK guys I have a classic with a 327, had the Edelbrock on it running with the Tranny cable not correctly set up and blew my Tranny.... Needless to say that was about 2K I didn't want to spend I have found the Correct Rambler Holley Carb  H44160  on Rock AUto. The only issue is finding the correct after market kickdown cable.  Here is the carb info.. 

http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1125669 - http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/moreinfo.php?pk=1125669

It runs pretty good with out alot of mods. Still need to get it shipped over to me but the few days I drove it she ran like a top.

You can't use an aftermarket cable. The cable anchors onto and goes inside the transmission. Do you have the original cable?
