Default TH 400 Kick down and Idle solenoid brackets

O.K. I'm stumped.
Some facts:
69 L78 with original carb and Intake manifold.
OEM kick down bracket.
Re-produced Idle Solenoid bracket I got from Bob H @ Camaros.com, I was in the hunt for that rare bracket and he had one on the shelf. But it was made by a guy who did a few of them years ago. It looks dead on, compared to others I have seen pics of. But I can't put it side to side with an OEM bracket to see if there is a difference/flaw.

The Problem:
Both brackets/solenoid plungers do not line up with the throttle rod bracket. They are almost a half inch away from being in the proper position in order to function as designed. The kick down bracket will only mount in the hole designed for the L35-L35, it will not slide under the carb base and carb body due to clearance. Carb was restored by Eric and I contacted him and he assured me all is correct regarding the carb and its brackets.


I contacted the Tech Dept. of BBBenny and he sent me pics of his survivor L78 set up and mine just does not seem the same. Attached are a few pics of my dilemma. Those of you with the same set up and or corporate knowledge, could you please give me advice as to how I can fix this? Any and all advice is appreciated. John
