Please let us know how it works. You may know that '66 is the only year Tri-Power that has a center carb bracket that allows adjustment for throttle cable length by bending the center carb throttle lever bracket. Also, 'the '64 original cables had three holes in the carb end to select proper full throttle and idle movement.

I agree with B-man--the standard Tempest/LeMans two barrel cable would work with Tri-Power, also.

So many setups I get hare to restore have loose/damaged center carb throttle levers due to improper adjustment of the cable. It takes two people to check that the center carb is fully open when the accelerator pedal is on the floor, not that the carb is wide open before the pedal hits the floor. The same is true of the slider adjustment. It needs to be adjusted to open all three carbs fully at the ame time.
