Title: Recommended throttle cable
Post by: usraptor on May 13, 2017, 02:35:14 PM
'70 'Cuda, 440, 4-speed, Holley dominator intake, and Quick Fuel 880 CFM carb.  I purchased the pictured Holley 4150 throttle cable bracket to use with the carb/intake however the stock throttle cable, while the correct length (22.5"), won't work with this cable bracket.  I've been looking for Lokar cables that will work but can't find any that are the right length, (closest is 24") and I also need one that will attach to the stock gas pedal.  I'm sure others have done something similar to this already, so can somebody please direct me toward the correct Lokar (or other brand) cable that will work with this set up.  Thanks in advance.
Brad

I have often jut added a lnk from the end of the cable to the bracket on the carb to extend it rather than replace the cable

Thanks Chryco.    My problem is that with the Holley bracket I have no way of tightening down the OEM cable without going Rube Goldberg on it.

Thanks Brads70.  Do you know which cable (length/part no.) you used?

I don't remember the part numbers I used but the lokar stuff is universal, you cut it to the length you require.
