Throttle Cable Bracket Question

[robmccon]

I have a Mk4, 347 with Holley Sniper FI. I am using the FF throttle cable and am looking for a bracket that mounts using the holes in the intake manifold (see picture below). I've seen brackets that mount on the carb studs, but would like to try this location. Any suggestions or pictures of what others have done? Thank you!

Not mounting where you indicated, but many use this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B1THB3CX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
which needs to be modified a bit to remove some material so there is no interference. Also recommend this to better manage the throttle response: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07WN2SPHN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I have a BPE 347 with a Sniper FI. I used a Lokar cable, one of whose bracket mounting holes attaches to the forward of the two bolt holes you have labeled "Mounting Holes" and the other to a riser bolt hole just to the left of the "M" in your "Mounting Hole" label. Simple and does the job. I also fabbed a three hole throttle cable attach bracket that can allow three slightly different "performance curves". Currently the cable is attached at the most responsive position.

Art, that's similar to what I was looking for. Do you happen to know the Lokar part #? Also, it looks like you got the throttle extension lever as well. Is that a benefit? Thanks!

Rob, yep. I got the cable and bracket from Summit Racing. I needed a 48" cable to handle a somewhat lengthy routing issue that takes the cable from a Russ Thompson pedal assy, out the front of the foot box, loops around right back in then out the side to the engine bay and thence to the throttle body. All that to keep from having to loop the cable around the engine. That polished alum extension lever/bracket is a custom fabbed affair easily made, and no, I've not tried the other two positions (too many other nits to address before performance changes). I suspect response won't be significantly different between the positions but it's there if needed for some reason.
The Summit Racing cable p/n is LOK-TC1000U48 and the bracket is LOK-XSRK-4000.

I have made two brackets of my own to mount on the intake manifold like you want. The first was for my carburetor and I tried to use that on my Sniper after the upgrade but the initial throttle tip in was brutal. Made the second one to use a EFI style cable pulley and bell crank to make the throttle more linear. The bracket is fabricated out of 4 inch aluminum angle.

If you still have to buy the Lokar cable and the mount bracket, my recommendation is don't. Spend your $ on a mechanical linkage instead. Forte has a kit or there are some old threads w/ a list of pieces you can buy to make your own.

This bracket from F.A.S.T. works perfectly with the Sniper.
