Throttle Bracket

The Edelbrock Throttle Bracket (part number 8031) is a manifold-mount throttle control linkage designed for Chevrolet V8 engines requiring cruise control or kickdown functionality. Built from durable steel with a black powder-coat finish, this bracket provides reliable mechanical linkage between the throttle body and transmission kickdown or cruise control systems on compatible V8 platforms.

The bracket's manifold-mount design integrates directly with intake manifold attachment points, ensuring proper alignment and secure positioning during throttle actuation cycles. The black powder-coat finish provides corrosion resistance and withstands engine bay heat and vibration. Weighing just 0.73 lbs with compact dimensions of 5.85 x 2.75 x 6.4 inches, this bracket fits within standard engine compartment constraints while maintaining structural rigidity for consistent throttle response and transmission feedback control.

This bracket is essential for Chevy V8 engine builds where factory or aftermarket cruise control and automatic transmission kickdown systems require mechanical linkage from the carburetor or throttle body to the transmission vacuum modulator or kickdown lever. Edelbrock's throttle brackets are commonly used in restoration projects, performance engine swaps, and custom engine bay builds where original equipment manufacturer linkage is unavailable or incompatible with modern fuel injection or carburetor conversions.

Each bracket is sold individually, allowing builders to source the specific linkage configuration needed for their particular V8 platform and transmission combination. Proper installation requires alignment with throttle body cable attachment points and transmission control arms to ensure smooth actuation and accurate downshift response.
