anyone with a non RB prepped Holley...

Could anyone out there post pics of their non RB prepped Holley carb setup. More specifically how and what type of throttle linkage you used. I need some ideas as to how I can make a better functioning throttle setup that is cheap and effective. Thank you.

Doesn't the RB throttle cable plate hook up to the holley throttle linkage on the opposite side of where a regular holley would link up? Can you tell me any other parts you may have needed to use the rb throttle cable plate with a non rb prepped holley?

you shouldn't need anything special, other than the throttle cable bracket, (which could be made pretty easily if you wanted to)

what problems are you running into exactly? The throttle linkage should be on the firewall side btw.

Throttle linkage on a non RB prepped holley is on the front side. I would have a link to pics that show what I am talking about, but my dig camera is MIA and the pics I had hosted before were removed because the site is no longer active. I will try and provide pics if possible and as soon as possible.
