Throttle Cable

"Too long" = later upshifts (and earlier downshifts when you floor the accelerator).

The carb gasket should be approx 5/16" thick, not the thin 1/16" or 1/8" item.

That's interesting Bouchillon say their kit won't work with a 225/1bbl setup. I'd want to have more detailed info from them; "225/1bbl" is not a single setup, it's multiple different carburetors, multiple different kickdown levers on the trans, etc. Without knowing what they have in mind, I'm having difficulty guessing what the incompatibility might (or might not) be.

Thanks for that information.

I was kind of confused on how the kickdown linkage would interfere with the throttle opening, but after looking at it last night I understand how it would. But I was able to verify that with the carb linkage at WOT the kickdown linkage still had about 1/16" of travel before it maxed out its travel. I also verified that the linkage was not hitting the exhaust pipe or trans lines.

I also measured my carb gasket and it is around .25"
