as you can see from the pic , you dont have to have the mopar bracket. and if i did have one on the carb, my throttle cable bracket would never line up. nor would my TP rod. i drive this car every day and its works perfectly.
My trans was shifting fine too, I thought, untill I talked to a tech. He told me to put a gauge on it to see where the throttle was when the trans pressure was starting to rise. The throttle moved 3/4 of an inch before the pressure started to increase. It had bad linkage geometry. Changed it around and now it starts to increase at off idle. If left alone I might have burned up the clutches.
