OMC 5.7 cobra, carb (mod) from Holley4160 to Edelbrock(1409)

[SleeplessDream]

I have a 1990, OMC 5.7 Cobra (GM350) with Holley carb 4160, I installed an Edelbrock intake manifold performer with 1409 Edelbrock carb (nice fit). Need advice, parts# and resources; The fuel line is opposite side location, the fuel throttle linkage does not match/ not align with new Edelbrock carb 1409. Please prove advice and point me to parts needed, videos or pictures with links is greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much.

I would post some pics of what you have so we can have a visual of what is needed.

Without seeing, maybe a throttle cable plate and make a new fuel line from some aluminumized brake line

The link is just for an idea and may not be what you need

For the fuel line you might have to use a flexible line with a banjo bolt type set up. This will allow the fuel line to clear the shifter bracket/bell crank

This page has a couple universal fit throttle cable brackets and fuel lines that could go from the fuel pump to carb. https://www.michiganmotorz.com/prod...rs-renew-kits/throttle-brackets-miscellaneous

another option is the merc throttle bracket part number 805359T used for weber/ edelbrock carbs. Might fit, its what i used on my mercruiser 5.0 when i swaped the 2 bbl for a 1409. https://www.boats.net/product/mercu...MIqoihibeQ7wIVCvCzCh1mwAYwEAQYASABEgISifD_BwE
i dont know what the omc cable looks like but would imagine it would with some light fab work
