The Six Pack throttle cable and kickdown linkage were specific to the engine, but...
I ran a 440+6 '72 Charger around Atlanta for a couple of years. The car was my daily driver so I didn't have time to f__k around finding "correct" parts. I used the later 1-piece 440-4V kickdown I already had on the car, which I believe I grabbed from a cop car. I used the Direct Connection carbs on it (4782/4783) but I see no reason that would change anything. I did the swap in an afternoon and don't remember chasing parts or modifying anything to work. Obviously I needed the Six Pack throttle and coil brackets, but I got original Chrysler stuff from work before I started the swap... yeah, this was awhile back.
For a cable, you'll want the '69-'70 B-body cable, assuming the firewall attachment never changed on A-bodies. I absolutely had to swap the cable (another new OE part) because the 4V cable had a longer housing. It came out of the firewall at a sharp angle, almost a kink. I'd already learned--on that same car--what results from that: A frayed inner cable. Mine went full bird's-nest inside the housing at WFO and a sharp curve coming up extremely fast. Exciting stuff. Anyhow, to my knowledge the cable game is as such: '70 & older B-bodies and all A-bodies should use the '69-'70 B-body cable. All E-bodies and '71-up B-bodies use the E-body cable, which also gets used on F/M/J-bodies. I can't speak to pickup trucks and I've never researched the C-bodies, although a few Six Pack freighters were built.
My own project is somewhat similar to yours. What would a factory 1974 340 Six Pack Challenger have looked like? I went full retard: T/A heads & intake, N94 (T/A) hood/air cleaner, quarter-panel antenna, and the other little T/A detail parts like valve covers and washer nozzles. I even found an NOS set of 1974 Michigan manufacturer license plates to complete the "prototype" look. I'm not using the T/A stripes or spoilers, though.
I bet the cops were PO'd when they found out someone had ripped off their throttle cable. :)The Six Pack throttle cable and kickdown linkage were specific to the engine, but...
