Can someone post me some pictures of the throttle cable hookup for a Carter carburetor it would be appreciated. Most interested in the part of the cable hooked to the carburetor area.
Thanks

Some where in my stuff at home, I have pictures of this that were sent to me by other members when I was setting up my Carter last year. I'll see if I can find them tonight Rick.

There is a Edelbrock part that you add to the carb for Chryco type throttle linkage (includes FSJs) to connect to also. More on this later... [img]smile.gif[/img]

Rick - Just sent you email with a couple pix...

Flint,
Thanks. I'll check the email you sent when I get into work tomorrow AM.

I did get the throttle ball kit.
It appears that the stock throttle cable is a tad short. I'll be interested to see what part you are talking about. Remember I am a standard shift where I think you are auto.
Thanks again

Here's a shot of it complete:



and here's a shot of the measurement I used to adapt the stock throttle-cable bracket and cable:



I also have more information on the throttle-bracket on the following page:

It's an Edelbrock Performer carb with the Chevy-style throttle-arm, which should be the same as your AFB

Bob and Flint,

Thanks for the pictures and reference information.
Much appreciated. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Welcome Rick!

Bob, my throttle cable was in too much of a bind hooked up like that, so I got the Chryco adapter that mounts on the plate where your cable hooks up. The parts were very reasonable to buy. Now the place that used to stock a good variety of Edelbrock parts in Cortez is out of business...

Thanks again</font>[/QUOTE]I thought you had a stick Rick... So, you have less to mate up. I tried moving the mount for the end of the throttle cable but ended up mounting it in stock location where the cable is in far less of a bind. Guess I could get some pix of my own setup too. Good luck on the upgrade!

I bought a universal throttle cable adapter for my Edelbrock and it got rid of the throttle cable binding problem. It mounts to the left rear carb bolt and is adjustable up/down- forward/aft. I think it cost about $4. I also bought a different throttle "ball" and all is well with my set-up.

Edelbrock universal kit?
Maker and part number?

[J4GRAND]

It wasn't an Edelbrock kit but just one they had at my local (non-chain) parts store with all the carb accessories.

[badaboom]

Well it just goes to show you its always something.
25 AMP fuse.
