Title: Accelerator cable and mount
Post by: hellfirejim on November 17, 2007, 09:08:36 PM
Ok brain trust, try this one on for size.  My 75 has a simple throttle cable mount that mounts on the intake manifold.  Is it the same as other carb years????

If so then i need one with an accelerator cable.........  I need it to set up my carb enclosure [ See my projects].

thanks for the help

Are you referring to this piece?  If so I believe the only difference is if the car is an automatic or a stick.  The automatics have the extra shaft that connects the kick down rod to the transmission.  The one is the picture is off an automatic car.  I have a spare 4spd bracket and a cable if you are interested.

Jim, I posted my pic. It looks the same.  Here is the spare one I have.  I will have to pull the cable off my parts car.

You are right it does look the same.  If you look at the two pictures, it would seem to me that there is a piece missing that attaches to the aluminum block at the end of the bracket.  Any ideas on that???

I have the MT throttle cable bracket and cable too if you need it also. Sounds like there are several of those available to you already. I need a new C3 kickdown rod if anyones got one. I set mine on the ground beside the car and ended up running over it before i got it reinstalled. ooops.

I have a MT car but this is the linkage that is on it. i believe it to be from an automatic car.

Jim, that looks like an extender piece for the throttle cable that came with the carb / intake?  I am not sure what that would be used for other than a for the kick down?  Sorry I can't be more help to you.  I will pull the cable off the car tomorrow when I am at my mom's house for dinner.
