I wish I could help you; but both my super sixes were already set up.

I did end up using a Lokar throttle cable on a 318 and it was an easy install. I had to use it because someone replaced the kickdown with a Lokar and the OEM throttle would not work easily.

Maybe try a throttle cable off a V8 car.
They are definitely shorter.

X2 Use the V-8 cable.

"on to the choke stove"

remember a super six needs a specific choke different from the normal one. This is because the push rod will orient towards the front of the engine.

good luck

For your pre-'78 car, you need an ATP cable number Y-156. About $16 from rockauto.com . The '78-up cables have a square plastic end that goes into the firewall; your earlier car needs the round metal end.
