rumblefish's Duster project
On the throttle cable issue that you may have seen me post about, I could not locate a stock one. So I went to Lokar. There instructions were blury and basicly sucked. So first timers or newbies will have a problem. It may take a few minutes to figure it out. For myself, had there pictures drawing not look like a kids smudge, I still would not have been happy. The real problem was a in the ordering. A mistake was made.
They do not make a cable for stock carbs.
To this end, I made a metal plate to minic the Carter/Edelbrock adapter linkage. It's a simple thing really. Take note of where the cable hooks up. The area is NOT on OE carbs. A spare peice of tin and a nibbler.....drill bits to find out what size the holes are, a few minutes later, presto, below is what I came up with.
Tomorrow I'll sanp a few shots with the kick down cable installed.
