Pics tell a thousand words,and it is all coming back to me now.
What you have is a 318 throttle cable bracket,which was designed for a 318,with a Carter bbd (2 bbl).This bracket holds the cable lower.
What you need is a cable bracket for a 4 bbl car. The arm sits higher. Take a look at the 2 pics I gave you carefully. I have seen this bracket on e-bay often,some guy is even re-popping them. Maybe someone on this site may be able to help you with one.
These things/parts take time to do it right. I think if your patient we can help.
Lets start by finding the correct 4 bbl bracket.
Just looked on E-bay: Item #350206420633 Small Block 4 bbl bracket.
This is what you need.
You can also go to the parts wanted on the site and ask for a small block (4bbl) bracket.
Someone here has to have one.
