What is the proper way to mount the accelerator bracket on a 68-69 BBC Chevelle. I can't seem to find the bracket for the 68, so I got the one for a 69. Exactly where does it bolt to? Seems to close to the carb ball/stud when bolted to the carb base. Any help????

I personally don't know if it's different from 68 to 69 or if there's a difference between Rochester and Holley. Here's a shot of my 69 Holley.

68 original on left and 69 aftermarket on right with spring tab cutoff.

One thing though the last two brackets in the pictures are for the Q-jets. The top picture with the Holley on it is a Holley Bracket.
