Well, I seem to have misplaced the bracket that holds the accelerator cable to the manifold. It is a small bracket that bolts to the manifold right next to the carb. It was there when I took the car apart, but somehow it just is not showing up. If someone has one, please let me know as this might save me a bunch of time. 72 is different then 70. 73 might be the same but I do not have a part number book, just a service manual for both 70 and 72. The little tab that fits in the manifold is on the firewall side for 72 rather then the front on 70. And I thought I did a good job of labeling and storing everything!!!

Yes the big bracket is the one I need. I have the others but will do it either way you prefer as I just do not want to hold my resto up. Are they the correct finish or should they be natural or black?? I thought the ones I took off were natural? Address needed. Mike Scally 8428 Firethorn Court Longmont, CO 80503 Thanks! :TU:
Took these off a 71 350 and they were painted. I beadblasted and painted these myself but you can do what you like if your interested. Jarrod Jacobs 1456 State Rte 37 Hogansburg , Ny 13655
350 is different than the 455, so I guess they will not work. o No: I also think the 71 is different then the 72 as it looks just like the 70. Thanks for looking! Mike
I think I have one of those--I have a 72 Stge 1 with the original bracket and I will compare it tonight. Will be back tomorrow with results. Probably won't have pic but I will give you an exact description and guarantee that it will be correct. Patton
Found it---correct bracket--same as the one on my 72 Stage 1 which is original--$25 shipped. I can beadblast and/or paint it if you want also. It is not pitted, etc but these were originally clear (silver) zinc plated and the plating deteriorates over time. Also--if you know anyone going to the Buick event in Noble this coming weekend I can give it to them at the event. Let me know. Thnx, Patton
Patton, I truly appreciate your response. I did just tonight get the bracket from one of our local Buick guys. Thanks, Mike
