looks like I need an adapter plate, wondering if anyone know which one?

TRD products #2086         is one plate that looks like it would work

HI I used an Offenhauser P/N 5451, about $47. through Summit, been on the car for 15 years, no problems. Don't use the Mr. Gasket, hard to seal I'm told. thanks gz

Agreed. The Mr G ones are crap compared to how they used to be. I have several adapters on my shelf that I bought to do stuff with but didn't go anywhere since I changed my mind and went LPG instead.

Get a longer cable and make a bracket. If you have auto, get the Lokar passing gear cable for Mopar and make the bracket fit that as well.

hi yes there is, and there are more ways than one. For the way I did it, before internet/ebay/gronk, google "AMC 258 upgrade skidmore" ,  waaaay back in 00. good luck, gz, btw, mine was for the 2100, not the Holley, but principles are the same.
