[Chevelle-list] '65 Throttle Linkage Conversion

2004-03-22 Thread Kirby Strunk
What is the best way to convert the throttle linkage on a '65 to a cable 
system?  Will a cable and pedal from a newer Chevelle fit?  Lokar pedal?  I 
will be installing an Accel Super Ram and it will require a throttle cable.

Thanks,
Kirby Strunk

I used a Lokar setup on my '67 with the Super Ram.  The pedal itself is
pretty generic and I used the 'spoon' type (#SPO-6070)

The cable is a 36 unit for a tuned port (#TC-1000TP36) that was cut to
length.  I might have gotten away with the 24 unit, but that stuff is
easier to cut than to stretch. LOL

I also used their 'tuned port bracket' (#TCB-40TP1)

and after installing my 700R-4, I switched to the two stud unit, #TCB-40TP2.

Check http://www.lokar.com/products.html for links to all their stuff.

I have some general engine photos at
http://www.dalesplace.com/htm/chevelle/the_engine.htm that show the cable
setup under the hood.
