Holley Throttle Bracket - 13b 6port
Im swapping a s4 13b and bought a Holley carb, intake, etc with the motor. Was previously installed in a REPU.
The carb throttle bracket is on the radiator side not the firewall side like a RB prepped Holley. Before I make a mounting bracket for the throttle cable, is there one available somewhere?

this is how the cable bracket attaches. being as this is going into a 1st gen, u wont need the extension section due to the cable not being as long as it is on the fc.

Yes the throttle linkage is on the opposite side as the RB Holley. The JW manifold moves the carb very close to the alternator and thermostat/water neck. The hard line fuel inlet to the bowls will hit the water neck if I flip the carb to put the throttle on the firewall side.
Unfortunately I can't get a hold of the previous owner to discuss how it was installed on the REPU.
Goal is to get it driving then put Webers on ASAP

Here's a decent photo of one like it. Did I mention it's a 750dp and completely oversized!
Webers will come once I can verify the motor is good and burn off a set of tires. After 5 years I just want it running. I'm sure many can relate.

Take the carb off the manifold, and flip it around. It's backwards.

Consider me dense... one issue with flipping it is the hard-line for the fuel bowls hits the water neck. May be less of an ordeal than making a throttle bracket though. Thanks for continuing to beat me over the head with the obvious... it may stick eventually .

Running that carb backwards like that isn't going to run right anyways, since your primary venturi will be supplying fuel to your secondary ports...

Since the JW is a single plane manifold, it probably does not matter which direction the carb is oriented. Does it? Aren't all the outlet holes of the Holley the same size? I do not have one handy to check, but I am sure that someone does. Is the Racing Beat manifold also single plane? I assume so, but could very easily be wrong.
