Default 92 silverado swap throttle bracket issue-please help!!!!!!!!!

Hello folks,
I am having a hell of a time figuring out the proper mix for this setup. I have a real basic issue, but its a pain in my you know what. I recently purchased a 92 silverado with automatic 700r4 4x4. it had a 4.3L boat anchor that i took out of it and replaced it with a sb chevy 350. It had tbi i switched over to carb. Currently i am using a Professional Products Cyclone Intake Manifold 52001 setup with a 1979 rochester 4bbl quadrajet. I have used multiple universal throttle brackets and nothing has worked. the stock bracket off the 350 and the 4.3 also failed to work. Since this is my first time switching over from tbi to carb on this type of motor, i am uncertain as to what i need. I need to know what length throttle valve cable i need and also what bracket i need. Does, jeggs, summit or another like supplier have such a bracket? Please keep in mind the intake and carb i am using. I have tried many universals and none have worked. if anyone has ran into this issue before and can help, please do! I'm desperate and need this truck driving on its own power asap.

i'm not really good with throttle brackets but i think you may be better off going to a boneyard and getting the entire bracket setup off of an older 350 with carb setup

Sorry, should have been more clear. I currently have a bracket off a 350 that had a carb setup. I also have the bracket off the 4.3L and two universal brackets. The problem lies mostly in the intake. The mounting locations for any bracket using that intake just don't jive.

could you make a relocation bracket that take the original bolt holes from the manifold and move it so it's more in line to use one of the brackets? just a simple 1/16" plate with a little angle spot to raise it up a tad so you can bolt the bracket on, of the distance you need to make it work
