Engine Carb problem

[gevan32]

Hello everyone. This is my first post here on this site so bear with me. I recently bought a 1980 CJ5 Laredo with a GM 151 Iron Duke. Body and undercarriage is in great condition but over the years it has had several modifications to the Engine, specifically the fuel system. One of the previous owners had removed the Rochester 2SE carb and replaced it with a Holley and some fabricated manifold riser to accommodate the throttle cable connection. We are in the final stages of rebuilding/cleaning up the upper part of the engine and trying to put it back mechanically to as close to original as possible. The problem we are running into is the Throttle cable bracket which is bolted to the back of the head looks like it was partially cut to accommodate the Holley carb. We are trying to find an original Throttle cable Bracket assembly to replace it for the Rochester AND an image which will help us understand how it is connected. I have a couple aftermarket manuals, Chilton and Haynes but they do not show anything that helps. My question here is does anyone have images of theirs and/or anyone who can point me to somewhere that might have the parts I am referencing? I have searched google to no avail.

You replied to a 4 year old thread, probably won't get any replies so I separated the post.

Great and appreciate the help. I am having difficulty navigating on the site and am not sure how to post a new thread. Could not find it in the FAQ's.

Thank you hagar...the image helps very much. I was able to find some used parts on ebay with a few pieces missing but the bracket (4.057-9) and (4.057-6) I was able to buy.

Now I need to track down some throttle linkage which in the above image is part number 4.070-1. Any one have any place the would recommend I contact or look to find that part?

4.070-1 is just the reference/group number for the item.

The Jeep part number for the item you have referenced to is: (J)8132363, Shaft, Carburetor Control.
Try a search using the actual part number I listed.
You may have to just locate a donor, as it's only used on the GM 151 application.

Hello, I have been looking for the part listed above ( (J)8132363, Shaft, Carburetor Control) since the last reply with no success. I decided to have a piece fabricated while I continue to look for it. Can anyone provide the dimensions of the part? Any assistance is appreciated.

Did you ever get a part fabricated for your request in post #9 above? If not, I could pull mine off and get some pictures and dimensions for you.
