throttle cable

[THE STEVE]

my throttle cable will not allow my carb to be open wide open throttle. it was a slant 6 car bu has had a 360 swap. i never changed the throttle cable. no matter how i adjust it when sitting in the car and putting the pedal to the floor it only opens the carb 3/4. if i adjust it to where it opens w.o.t then it doesnt travel enough and wont let it close all the way. so im thinking i need a new cable. what are your suggestions? i could go to a junk yard and chance finding a good one. but id rather get a new one that will last. i ddidnt know if a lokar one would be the way to go. any info will help.

Those two links above is all you would need you can get them at a local performance shop as well since a lot of muscle cars use this set up because its easy and universal

LOL. I just asked my dummy question in a new post. It's funny cause you say it's "very easy". I suppose it's easy if you have a clue what you're doing :banghead:

Lol I didn't know what I was doing for me it was common sense....

Here's the one throttle cable from autozone that I'm using its the same thing as the lokar but cheaper and cut to kit

THANK YOU! Had a 2am night last night working on the car, not trying to do that again! I hate leaving stuff I started unfinished, but sometimes I just need to learn to know when it's time to stop for the night!

Option # 2 is buy a carb stud mount plate that is avaiable from jegs.
It does away with the factory motor throttle mount.
This allows adjustment in carb height.
It is like $50.00
If you have the slant cable, which is like 24" long from the firewall, I have a stock v8 cable if you need it.
I can post pics if you need to see how it works, and it is the most adjustable set up I have ever used.

Thanks for your input! I just got the lokar hooked up, I made it way more complicated than it should have been. But guess what? Next time, I'll know exactly what I'm doing in the beginning. I'll also know more about what I need to order, so I can get it all done at once instead of waiting days between each installation of a part! I'm still curious of what your setup looks like, sireland.

See the little black plastic piece snaps in holding the cable in the pedal

And up here at the carb you use the long adjustable piece that comes with

will the lokar cable and bracket interfere with my stock throttle pressure linkge?
