Throttle Cable Plate Kit - SBF 289-302

The Throttle Cable Plate Kit – SBF 289-302 is an essential adapter for engine builders and carburetor swap specialists upgrading Small Block Ford engines with Edelbrock carburetors. When transitioning from a factory fuel injection or original carburetor setup to an Edelbrock unit, the stock throttle bracket rarely aligns with aftermarket carb mounting bosses, creating a mismatch that prevents proper cable routing and throttle response. This precision-engineered plate kit solves that alignment problem by positioning your factory throttle linkage exactly where the Edelbrock carb needs it, ensuring smooth, predictable throttle travel without binding or cable stretch.

Manufactured from heavy-duty steel and finished in cadmium plating for corrosion resistance, this kit is built to handle the vibration and thermal cycling of both street and performance engines. The cadmium coating protects against rust in engine bay environments, while the steel construction maintains structural rigidity under load—critical when throttle response must be instantaneous and consistent. Weighing just 0.42 lbs and measuring a compact 5.8 x 1.95 x 5.85 inches, the kit integrates seamlessly into tight underhood spaces without adding bulk or requiring extensive modification to existing intake manifold or carb mounting hardware.

This adapter is specifically engineered for Small Block Ford 289 and 302 cubic-inch engines paired with Edelbrock carburetors, making it ideal for classic muscle car restorations, hot rod builds, and performance engine swaps where factory linkage geometry no longer applies. Installation requires no welding or permanent modification—simply bolt it between your existing throttle bracket and the carb, adjust cable tension, and confirm full throttle opening. Veteran mechanics and first-time builders alike rely on this kit to eliminate guesswork during carburetor conversion, ensuring safe, reliable throttle operation from first start-up.
