Brads70,

You may just have the answer I am looking for!!!  I had to go with the Locar setup as well however the problem I am having is the bracket for the locar cable mounts on the back right corner bolt of the edlebrock carb and interferes with the throttle cable bracket(I ran into this when I changed carbs from Holley to Edlebrock).  How did you set yours up?  Do you have any pics you would be willing to share? 

Thanks,
Twiles

Brads70,

Those pics definately helped!!!  It appears my problem is simply that I must remove the stock throttle cable bracket and use a bracket that mounts both cables.  Thanks again......I may finally back into busines with the car.....
