Default Question about day 2 engine mods

I have a fast question and I hope one or more of you can
put this into perspective for me.

I saw recently ( here ) that someone has/had a '68 SS Camaro
with an L-88 dealer conversion. Did this L-88 use the GM
intake for L-88's, or did it use a Torker type manifold?
( I hope I got the aftermarket intake name right ).

The intake I am wondering about is the one that set the Holley
carb on the intake at an angle so the throttle plates lined-up
over the runner openings. I'm not sure about the vintage
of this intake, so it may not have been available for such
a dealer conversion. I do believe that this intake was used
on the Baldwin Motion L-88 conversion.

Final question: Since the carb sits at such an angle to
the engine, I would suspect that the Camaro throttle rod
would not work properly. Was a cable used instead? If so,
what cable and cable bracket would have been used?

Steve
