Correct throttle bracket?
I'm going to remove the turkey pan and S&H air cleaner and replace them with a large-oval air cleaner. I like the TP look, but I want to get a less restrictive intake and have room to attach the PCV breather hose. (The TP goes back on for show; I might do the mods to make it slip on and off without pulling the carb.)
Unfortunately, the TP forms the anchor point for both throttle springs. I've searched but can't find a good image of an FE without a TP. What bracket do I need and where might I find one? |
My PCV hose goes through the back of the turkey pan at the lower radius. You can also blend away material to allow for linkage and return springs. There's no right or wrong way...it just isolates some engine compartment heat from the air inlet.

I have the throttle return brackets in ally silver or black. I've also made the convertible Turkey Pans as I have the parts here to make them. I cut the bottom out and replace it with a new laser cut bottom with nutserts on the overlap. It works out quite tidily doing the TP like that. Check my site when you get a minute for the throttle and I'll see if I can find any more pictures of the pan.

Z, I know I can get the PCV valve hose through the pan - I will do that when I next put the pan back on. The problem is that the eeny-weeny S&H air cleaner has no room to put the fitting for the breather hose from the other cap, and I will have to have that to pass the California smog check. (I'll leave the PCV valve and hose on but go back to the open breather when I put the TP and S&H back on for show.)
Mick, I have a nice throttle bracket; what I need is the spring attachment bracket that normally is bolted on the carb stud or intake. There are a dozen to choose from at any speed shop, but I'd like to use the "right" part if anyone can tell me what Ford or Shelby part it is. (Right now, both throttle springs go to a bolt on the turkey pan.) |
