Thread: Anyone have a photo of their Edelbrock carb with Cruise Control linkage?

Tweet

I've got a Thunder series Edelbrock carb and a 700r4 trani. I've also got the Bowtie Overdrives "TV Made EZ" kit which has a cam thingy that goes on the Edelbrock's carb linkage (bottom picture). I know Edelbrock makes a cruise control bracket (Part #1484, top photo) but I don't know if this will work since I've got the TV Made EZ thing. Anybody have a picture of their Edelbrock with the cruise control bracket installed?
But it also looks like maybe I can just get a stud for the cruise control cable to hook on to that would go into the hole near the throttle cable stud...any input on that. It would need to be able to accept the cruise control end of the cable that has the long adjustable connection (third picture). I wish I had pics of this all setup when I had the factory Q-jet with all this hooked up on it but I don't.

I think I'm just going to find a very short bolt and thin nut to run through the hole in the linkage on the carb and bolt that cruise control cable on there real tight. Probably use one of those washers or nuts that has a bit of grip on the contact side.

If you can or are using the Lokar throttle cable, and are using an after market cruise control like Dakota Digital, then you can use the after market cable Lokar sells for the cruise. (I believe almost all of the after market cruise controls and a lot of OEM's are made by Rostra)This cable is supplied with a carb end fitting that will work. Somewhere in my currently messy shop I have that fitting as I'm not going to use it, at least at this time as I have solid linkage and have used a different type of attachment supplied with the Dakota cruise.

One word of caution with the cruise Lokar cable - there are no installation/hook up instructions at all. I spent some time talking to Lokar about this, and while they are "in the works" aren't yet available.
