    170 slant6 63 help

    Memike, sound like you got a lot of good info here. One more thing you will need to look for is a new throttle set up as the 1 barrel uses a rod type and the 2 barrel uses the cable type. You will need one off a 63-66 a body with a V8. You will have to drill new holes to mount it up, but if the...

    Throttle cable/gas pedal issues - holley on a 318

    Yep...had the same problem with mine. No matter how I adjusted the linkage there was not enough pedal travel for the car to idle right or go full throttle. I fixed mine by pulling the carpet back some and putting some aluminum shims under the bracket that mounts the pedal to the floor pan thus...

    throttle linkage

    Glad you got your throttle sorted out. Just for future reference, the early "A" V8 linkage is a cable setup not a rod setup like the /6. Chuck

    65 Barracuda tranny

    Really hard to say right now. My current A body is a '66 with rod linkage. I have a cable throttle assembly that I got off Ebay for 10 bucks. I would post a pic of it so you could get an idea what the mounting plate looks like, but for some reason the disc from my hard drive exited the tower...

    65 Barracuda tranny

    The good news is, you don't have to swap the K member. 273 brackets and insulators will bolt in a 273 or 318. If you want a 340 or 360 you will need conversion mounts (Schumacher comes to mind) and the aforementioned center link. Don't forget the 90 degree oil filter adapter and 273 exhaust...

    Goin V-8

    Center link for a V8. Throttle cable. 45degree oil filter adapter. And a few other odds and ends. Trans tunnel will need work for the 727, along with cutting down the driveshaft. If you have the 7 1/4 rear that will die with rough treatment quick.

    throttle linkage question

    Has anyone here used the stock throttle rods for a /6-V8 conversion? Does anyone have a picture of the throttle linkage for a slant 6 early A? I'm in the process of smoothing the firewall on my 66 and am trying to decide if I can run the stock linkage for my big block, or if I need to weld up...

    This weekends project ( if my parts are all here by then)

    I've heard a lot people say they just loop the 1bbl throttle cable instead of switching to the V8 (super six) cable. I switched to a V8 cable anyway — they aren't expensive or hard to find. I didn't want to risk the cable binding.

    Throttle Linkage Conversion SL6 to V8?

    The slant six throttle cable is going to be longer, and I think the sleeve on the moving portion of the cable is longer as well, which limits the travel - I think. I used a slant 6 cable on one of my cars because the intake was taller and I need more length. I cut the sleeve down using a...

    Throttle cable difference?

    I swapped my six for a 360. I've been working through the problems that come up but I thought I'd read the throttle cable for the six would work. It looks way to long, so is there a difference between the six and the V8 cars? I'm using the Thermo-quad with a Edelbrock Performer manifold. Thanks...
