I haven't started it yet but assuming you mean the bracket, I was just thrilled to find something I didn't have to completely make from scratch that seemed to work.

Do you see a problem? If so please help me before I mess it up even more.

I'm an assembler by trade not a mechanic!

This seemed like a such a straight forward and easy scenario until I went to bolt it all together. None of my factory brackets I had seem to put the cables in the right spot.

The universal bracket from $ummit wasn't even close.

I just google searched until I found something that was within reach and ordered this piece. It's heavy enough material, was affordable, but the holes they suggest put the cables too far away from the carb. I went for it because someone said in the remarks they made it work by drilling and moving the brackets up.

Thanks skipper

PCV is off the base port of the back of the carb and runs to the tube at the back of the engine.

The instructions say to mount it on the last two bolts so I'm guessing its more appropriate for aftermarket carbs
