Edelbrock Throttle Lever Adapter for Performer Carburetors — Gold Iridite, One Size, Corrosion-Resistant Mounting

Edelbrock 1481 Throttle Lever Adapter is a gold-iridited bracket that lets factory cable-operated throttle linkages connect cleanly to Edelbrock Performer carburetors. The Edelbrock 1481 is a purpose-built throttle lever adapter made to bridge original equipment cable linkages with Edelbrock Performer Series carburetors. Finished in a matching gold iridite, the adapter provides a corrosion-resistant mounting point engineered to work with vehicle-specific cable arrangements. Sold individually, this part is built with attention to fit and finish so your carburetor linkage looks and performs like an integrated installation.

How does this adapter simplify converting to an Edelbrock Performer carburetor?

The adapter eliminates modification of factory cables by offering a direct connection point designed to mate with Edelbrock throttle levers. Instead of fabricating brackets or altering linkage geometry, the 1481 provides a ready-made mounting solution for many applications.

• Directly connects factory cable-operated linkages to Edelbrock carburetors
• Avoids custom bracket fabrication or cable rerouting
• Vehicle-specific fit reduces trial-and-error during installation

What are the material and finish benefits of the gold iridited bracket?

The gold iridite finish offers a protective coating that resists corrosion and complements the appearance of Edelbrock Performer carburetors. Beyond looks, the finish helps maintain smooth linkage operation and long-term durability in underhood conditions.

• Gold iridite finish matches Performer Series aesthetics
• Protective coating reduces rust in moist environments
• Durable surface holds up under repeated throttle movement

What should I expect during installation and fitment?

Installation is straightforward when paired with the correct vehicle-specific kit or throttle lever; the adapter is designed for straightforward bolt-on mounting. Because it’s sold individually, confirm which side or linkage geometry you need before purchase to ensure proper fit.

• Sold as a single adapter—select the correct unit for your vehicle
• Designed for bolt-on installation with existing cable linkages
• Requires matching throttle lever or linkage hardware for completion

Will this adapter affect throttle responsiveness or safety?

The 1481 is an adapter bracket only and does not alter internal carburetor tuning or throttle mechanics when installed correctly. Its purpose is to provide a secure, correctly positioned attachment point so the cable operates the throttle lever consistently.

• Maintains original cable geometry when properly installed
• Secure mounting reduces chance of slop or binding in linkage
• Use correct hardware torque and routing for safe operation

This throttle lever adapter is best for do-it-yourself mechanics, restoration builders, and performance installers converting from factory carburetors to Edelbrock Performer Series units. If you want a neat, factory-looking connection between your factory cable-operated linkage and a new Edelbrock carburetor, the 1481 supplies a corrosion-resistant, vehicle-specific mounting solution that keeps installation tidy and reliable.
