So I'm diving back into my project and am installing the NOS complete fording kit components, complete with the cosmoline coating
. The "instructions" consist of 2 cartoonish diagrams, one of the engine and the other is the side of the truck for the pipes/brackets with the part # list. So I'm installing the upper cut-off valve (lower is straight-forward). It resides out of the side of the elbow over to the breather tube. There is a bracket that attaches to the upper carb/elbow stud that will hold the pinch clip for the 2nd fording cable. It's hard to tell if this bracket sits on the elbow side or on the carb side. Both sides will line up the cable to attach to the valve ok. I'm thinking it goes on the elbow side since the "scallop" on the bottom of the bracket fits its contour better but then it sets the cable line pull at more of angle than if it were on the carb side. There still won't be any binding. So anyone with the kit set-up that can shed some light on it or have a pic?
