What I suspected but wanted to see if there might be something I'm missing

Looking for manual choke cable brackets and he was recommended but that's on Facebook, way too many scammers on Facebook. Thanks for the info.

Anyone hear of a Brian at Crossram Connection, Wisconsin?

Looking for these choke cable brackets. I'm assuming most all early manual choke AFB's used same bracket. These carbs are 3447s

Anyone have any suggestions to find the cable brackets

Yes, sounds like just the nature of the intake. Mine starts OK, will idle in park OK but it has to get some heat before I can drop it in D or R. When my temp gauge just starts to move. Takes about 3-5 minutes

My choke cable bracket is not like this 3 bolt type. One of my issues is my holding bracket for the cable uses 1 screw and comes loose too often so I tend to not use it. I'll have to check if my carbs have these 3 screw holes, if so then try to find this style of clamp.

Idle speed does not change this. It's already idling very fast due to torque convertor being too tight so there is a large RPM drop when going into gear. A looser convertor would help a lot but something I'm not doing.

Manual chokes. But I don't like to use them. The chokes are more necessary during winter months just to get it started. Yea, I was thinking that maybe choking it cold would help it to not die.

I have to use too much octane boost to run more then 30. I have to use octane boost just to make it to 30

Thought I'd throw this out here to see if I might be missing something. 426 max wedge clone. factory intake, carbs (early 3447S). It has always taken about 10-15 minutes before it will stay idling in gear. Start it up if I put it in D or R it'll die until it's got some heat in it, maybe 5...

I just noticed you said "chrome". Ebay has plenty of those also
