Custom Throttle Linkages

I swapped from a slant to a 360 and I used a cheap aftermarket cable for the throttle in combo with an original early-a gas pedal. The big issue I had was that engine heat kept melting the inner cable sheath so that it caused it to hang up and give a sticky pedal. I cut a piece of rubber fuel line lengthwise and wrapped it around the outer braided sheath to insulate it and it has worked fine ever since. For the kickdown I used a lokar-knockoff cable setup and it worked great from day one but I had to use a hammer to clearance the trans tunnel a little bit to make enough room for the clevis at the trans gear selection lever. Not a big deal and the cable kickdown is so much easier to adjust.
