Restore it, Dont part it!
Going from a slant 6 to 360 la in a 75 dart i noticed my throttle is extremely too long. Anyone done this conversion used the factory cable or im i gonna have to replace it?
Im running a 1972 340 intake and thermoquad so the tq is a specific cable? I have never hears of imperial i will look that up thanksYes, you will need a different cable. What intake and carb are you running? The 68-70 AVS cars used a different cable that the 71 up Thermoquad carbed cars. Some places sell a cable for 68-76 4 barrel smallblocks, don't get that one if you are using a TQ. Imperial Services has both of them.
I think that's the same style I have. I have two of them. One was a late 70s the other was early 80sAlso look into a throttle cable bracket from a mid 70s 4 barrel ram van if you can find one. It will set the cable farther to the left and up at the right angle. See pix below. I cut the kickdown horn off it since it's going on a 4 speed setup. The manifold on the mockup is an Edelbrock RPM. A stock 4bbl intake the cable will sit more level since the carb sits little lower. If you cant find one, let me know. I am gonna hit the junky again to get one for my sons car 318 with stealth 8022 intake. If I can pick up an extra I will.
