My dear chap, you now appear to be a fabricator...
Well done!!

Re: Throttle Accelerator Cable
That looks very professional Alan, you should be proud of that and it's far better than an awful lot of other cars out there,

Re: Throttle Accelerator Cable
Andrew,
For someone who keeps saying he doesn't know what he is doing it looks a dam fine job. What with that and modifying headlights I think you are actually rather competent. Perhaps I should remake mine as a fabrication instead of a big block.
Was there a need for the 2nd Spring attached to what I thought was the finger hole. I can see Roger's has a 2nd Spring but the others don't. I note also that the others don't attach the throttle cable to the same position as Roger's but then his is a mechanical linkage not a cable.

Re: Throttle Accelerator Cable
Holley carbs have a return spring in the spindle, so you arguably only need one extra, whereas Edelbrock carbs don't apparently have the spindle spring, so having two on the linkage makes sense.

Ah yes, the bug has bit. That's how it starts.catsx11 wrote:I got a little over indulged in making it and although it works, I don't actually like it and have already thought of ways to improve and simplify it.
