Fabrication of some kind to adapt your throttle cable is almost always required when using an aftermarket intake.

Get creative with some flat stock or angle iron, a drill, a hacksaw, a file and git ‘er done.

The stock intake and carb are a blessing, nothing to adapt and performance is equal to or in many cases better than aftermarket replacements in non-race applications.

Pictured below is a throttle cable bracket I fabricated from a random factory bracket from my stash and some flat stock. It worked out after cutting down the mounting bosses on the RPM intake by about 3/4” if I recall correctly. I used an aggressive large hand file to shorten them and then ran a tap down into the holes afterwards because the shortened bosses needed more thread depth.

Good luck.
