Edelbrock Throttle Lever Adapter 1483 — Gold Steel, Cruise‑Control Compatible with Mounting Hardware

The Edelbrock 1483 Throttle Lever Adapter is a steel, gold-iridited adapter that lets automatic-transmission vehicles with cable throttles (excluding AOD) use Edelbrock throttle lever setups and remain cruise-control compatible.

Designed as a simple replacement or upgrade for compatible Edelbrock throttle assemblies, this adapter provides the correct geometry and hardware to link the throttle cable to Edelbrock carburetor levers. It is intended for vehicles with automatic transmissions that use a cable-operated throttle (note: not compatible with AOD transmissions). The part ships individually and includes the required mounting hardware for straightforward installation.

Which vehicles and transmissions work with this Edelbrock throttle lever adapter?

This adapter is built for automatic-transmission vehicles that use a cable-operated throttle linkage; it will not fit applications with an AOD (Auto Overdrive) transmission. Always verify your throttle cable arrangement and compare to Edelbrock fitment notes before purchasing.

• Compatible: automatic transmissions with cable throttle linkage
• Not compatible: AOD (Auto Overdrive) transmissions
• Typical use: aftermarket Edelbrock carburetor throttle levers
• Sold individually for single-carburetor installations

How durable and corrosion resistant is the 1483 adapter?

The adapter is manufactured from steel for strength and finished with a gold iridited coating to resist surface corrosion and wear. The finish improves longevity in engine-bay environments while the included hardware is sized for secure installation.

• Material: robust steel construction
• Surface finish: gold iridited for corrosion resistance
• Hardware: included for immediate installation
• Service life: designed for under-hood exposure and mechanical linkage use

Will this adapter keep my cruise control operational?

Yes — the Edelbrock 1483 adapter is compatible with cruise-control systems when used on supported automatic, cable-throttle applications. It maintains correct throttle geometry so the cruise actuator and cable function as designed.

• Cruise-friendly design: preserves throttle linkage alignment
• Works with typical aftermarket Edelbrock throttle levers
• Includes mounting hardware to ensure secure connection
• Sold individually when only one adapter is required

What’s included and how easy is the installation?

The 1483 ships with the mounting hardware required to attach the adapter to the throttle lever and cable end, simplifying installation. Basic mechanical skills and standard hand tools are usually all that’s needed to swap or fit the adapter onto a compatible carburetor and linkage.

• Includes: adapter and mounting hardware
• Installation: straightforward with common hand tools
• Requirement: verify non-AOD transmission and cable throttle
• Sold separately: one adapter per carburetor/throttle lever

Who is this for? The Edelbrock 1483 Throttle Lever Adapter is aimed at automotive enthusiasts, mechanics, and restorers who are fitting Edelbrock carburetors or throttle levers on automatic-transmission vehicles that use a cable-operated throttle system (excluding AOD). It’s a practical replacement part when the original adapter is worn or when converting to Edelbrock throttle components and needing cruise control compatibility. If you’re uncertain about fitment, compare your vehicle’s transmission type and throttle cable arrangement with Edelbrock fitment information or consult a mechanic before ordering.
