Yeah the throttle linkage was bolted down with like a clip, but with the new one it's just bolted down. The kick down was held with a bolt too but the way I can use it on the new one is just a screw just a little bit longer and tighten I'll be fine. Everything is simple and done for the most part my biggest "hump" was trying to figure out the throttle cable "bind" it might be hard to see but the best picture is the 2nd one look towards the firewall you can see the cable kind of do like a little hump when I tried using the stock bracket and new intake it just binded it more because like we talked earlier it's 1" further back than the q-jet/intake manifold was.

the stock bracket works but like we talked with it being further back it kind of "crunches/binds" up the throttle linkage coming from the firewall it'll work. I mean I could always try to trim off some more of the throttle cable bracket try to push it up some maybe make up that 1" difference could work that way but I'm unsure.
