What part do I need to connect my 700R tranny wire to my new Edlebrock 4 barrel? I used to have a Roch Quadrajet. Chevy El Camino.

85camino — Tue, 09 Sep 2008 22:09:09 GMT

I have an 85' El Camino with a 350 in it, and a 700R transmission. It used to have a Rochester Quadrajet. I recently replaced that wth a Edelbrock 4barrel performance Carb. The Quadrajet had a post for both the throttlecable and the tranny cable. The Edelbrock only has for the throttle. No auto store I have gone to has any idea what it is I need to attach the Throttle cable to the throttle control arm. But apparently they do know that Edelbrock does not make the part. Please help me out.
