How should I deal with this throttle cable placement difference between the EFI and the carb? Is there a standard bracket that will relocate it to the correct position?

Thoughts on loctite for the adapter plate no washer bolts or is it fine with the correct torque

I used a PCM gasket on each mating surface: between intake and spacer and then between spacer and carb. No vacuum leaks after 3 years...
I got torque specs from the Holley website for carb to intake mounting. You certainly can over-tighten. I used no thread locker nor lock washers. If you feel strongly about it, you could use a stainless steel nut with nylon insert. JQ |

I am in the process of swapping my EFI to a holley carb setup. I haven't done this before and just want to make sure I do the details correct. In this pic you can see how I am assembling it. My questions.
Do I only do a paper gasket from carb to adapter plate? i.e. the black rubber spacer/vib isolator doesn't need a gasket on either side? The allen key bolts in the adapter plate don't have a loc washer? should I loctite them? Only a lock washer on the carb bolts? Torques? Any other tips? One additional question. The original steel intake manifold had a sheetmetal plate bolted to the underside. The new aluminum one does not. Need that plate? What is it? Thanks, Adam
