I replaced the old Qudrajet carb with a new Eldebrock 650cfm on my 455 Olds. My problem is with the throttle cable. From where the cable mounts to the engine & out to the end that attaches to the carb, the Edelbrock is 2" closer to the front of the engine. Or the cable that opens & closes the carb is 2" to long. (my cable wraps around & mounts on the front of the engine.) Thus I cannot get the carb to idle down. Do you know of anybody who makes a throttle linkage extenstion for the Edelbrock carbs? I saw the Ford adapter, but it doesn't look like it will solve my problem. I need to move the cable attachment, on the linkage, back 2".....Thanks in advance for your expertise....-Rich
