After taking a short holiday trip last weekend, I played some more with the QuadraJet this weekend. I got the new choke vacuum pull off and link installed on the carb (OOPS, forgot to take any pics!!
) then turned my attention to the 3D printed throttle solenoid bracket...
When I set the carb onto the workstand and then placed the bracket into position, I ALMOST FELL OFF MY STOOL as to how close I had gotten with my BEST GUESS BRACKET!! 

The spacing between the mounting holes was 1/16" too far apart, the mounting leg was 1/16" too wide, the alignment finger across the front of the carb was 1/4" too long and the solenoid mounting leg needs to be about 1/4" longer to center the solenoid on the carb throttle arm. Aside from making those few corrections, my best guess was pretty damn close!!
Next weekend hopefully I will have the revised bracket in my grubby little hands and will try fitting everything onto the intake manifold to verify everything is a it should be.
PROGRESS
ZERBRA 3 OUT
