Hi again,
I have a 347 f.i. from BluePrint in my Coupe.
Just trying to figure out where do I attach the loud pedal cable sheat close to the throttle body of the Sniper EFI.
Anybody has a pic of what he did?
Do I have to make some kind of bracket or something?
TIA

Fast EZ makes a nice bracket that I used on mine.

This is showing the Fast EZ EfI but I also have the Sniper now.

HTH,

it's a bit tricky getting something that fits the sniper, there are some throttle cable brackets out there that fit 4150 style carbs but don't clear the Sniper's throttle linkage.
This is the one that finally did the trick for me (Sniper + 347)

This throttle bracket from FAST works perfectly with the Sniper.

...but turn the Sniper 180 degrees so the linkage is on the passenger side so the throttle cable can make just 1 gentle 180 degree bend rather than two tight 180 degree bends.

For what it's worth, I was able to keep the sniper orientation (better for fuel line routing) and pull from the front. I used the FAST throttle bracket as well but just flipped it.

Thanks a lot to you all!
But I have a confession to make now.
The bracket was in the kit included with the engine...sorry.
I am learning, thanks for your input again.
Ok flame suit on...shoot!

Even better, too many places to spend more money so take the "freebie" whenever you can.
