Throttle Cable

[71DartGuy]

What are you guys doing for a throttle cable when swapping a slant for a big block? It seems like mine is going to be a little too long.

The slant six cable is just the right length for a big block with a tall aftermarket intake manifold. It might be a little too long if you use a stock low-rise intake manifold. If you run a tall intake like a Victor or Performer RPM then get a tall throttle bracket kit from Mancini Racing or Hughes Engines and your slant six throttle cable will be just about perfect.

I always use teh /6 cable. It usually has a half loop but operates fine.

Hey Eric. I did end up just biting the bullet and going with Lokar. They sure make some pretty nice stuff and I thought everything was easy to install.

If using a Holley carb like mine I had to drill a new hole in the carb linkage..that was the only mod I did on top...on the bottom I drilled another small hole in the kickdown lever and used a spring to pull it back forwards....thus no way would it stay engaged...8)
