Chrome Throttle Bracket - GM

The Edelbrock Chrome Throttle Bracket for GM small block applications is a precision-engineered kickdown bracket designed for intake manifold mounting on carbureted powerplants. This steel assembly combines OEM-quality construction with chrome plating to deliver reliable transmission downshift actuation while resisting corrosion in high-heat engine bay environments. The bracket measures 5.65 x 1.95 x 6.45 inches and weighs 0.88 lbs, offering a compact footprint suited to tight engine compartments without sacrificing structural rigidity.

Edelbrock's throttle bracket specification ensures proper linkage geometry between the carburetor and automatic transmission kickdown mechanism. The steel construction provides the strength necessary to withstand repeated mechanical cycling and thermal cycling common in high-performance applications. Chrome plating protects against rust and oxidation, a critical consideration in vehicles operated in humid or coastal environments where bare steel deteriorates rapidly. The bracket's design is calibrated to small block Chevrolet specifications, making it a direct-fit solution for original equipment restoration or carburetor retrofit installations where factory kickdown brackets are unavailable or damaged.

This bracket is essential for operators maintaining or rebuilding classic GM small block engines with automatic transmissions. Whether restoring a C3 Corvette, a second-generation Camaro, or a full-size Chevrolet truck, proper kickdown linkage ensures the transmission downshifts at the correct engine speed under acceleration, optimizing both performance and fuel economy. Edelbrock's kit design simplifies installation, reducing labor time compared to fabricating a custom bracket. The chrome finish adds visual appeal to show-quality engine bays while delivering functional reliability for daily-driven classics or weekend cruisers.
