Throttle Cable Linkage
I grabbed this cable
set-up form an import car at the junkyard. I looked at a
lot of different cars that day and I cant remember what
year/make/or model it came from. I'm thinking it
was from a Volvo or was it a VW Rabbit? I made the mount behind
the carburetor from stainless steel and parts from my sons old bicycle
got the cable connected to the carburetor. I noticed that when the
pedal was on the floor the butterfly in the carb wasn't
wide open. To get around this problem I put a 1/2" block
of aluminum under the mounting plate where it bolts on
the floor. This spacer gave the pedal more travel. I
still need to go back and trim the spacer for a cleaner
look. After going to the carburetor spacer I made some
stands from aluminum tubing to get the cable mount
higher
