Gettin' back to the THERMOQUAD!
Couldn't really do that with the "Main' bracket out, so I brought 'em both inside where I can control the photo process better.
I'm thinking that the "Main" bracket is most probably the only one that was stock on the late 70's 318. A little straightening, and rotate the top part (with the bolt) up and to the right should align the throttle cable with its' connection on the carb's throttle shaft plate, and leave the K/D rod between the carb and the throttle cable. (If I remember their positions on the engine correctly!)
The broken piece had the part to the right of the fracture bent up, putting it parallel to the bolt. I have no idea where it came from - like most of the P.O.'s additions. Lots of them have been seriously thought out, but poorly executed. I've got almost all of 'em removed, and some of them rebuilt to MY standards. God only knows what the P.O. would think of MY changes, but he took my money and lost the right to criticize (out loud, anyway) - - AND he's a thousand miles away!
