Default throttle cable

bv,

From your pic the throttle cable looks nice & straight from the firewall to the bracket. Mine curls up and then down to the bracket. No matter how much I lube it it's balky and stiff. The liner is in good condition but there is just too much friction. Is your cable original or a repop, if repop where did you buy it? I'm tired of fighting mine.

best regards

Hi GTO Ron, From past posts on this subject, I will bet your cable is for a 4V. They are 1 inch longer than the 3X2 cable. I am surprised Ron Cuzzo has not already posted this. He fought the same problem during his resto. the 3X2 cable is 17 3/4 and the 4V is 18 3/4. Also the plastic cable cover at the carb end should be a grayish color, not blue or red. Hope this helps. "Bill"!

I don't know the details of Brody's cable, but the reason it looks so straight in that picture is because the throttle cable bracket isn't bolted to the intake yet.
