Re: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable
Yep and it took them until 1968 to install a TH400 in the Corvette.

RE: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable
Thanks. I bought the clip that was on ebay. I am going to go to a friend's store and look through some of the intermediate cables he has in stock. I think as long as it's about 8ft long and has ends that will stay in the clips, any one will work. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, September 25, 2005 11:19 AM To: Chevelle-list@chevelles.net Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable probably 1/4 inch John

I guess another question is what diameter round stock? -Original Message- Thanks Ron. Another friend also told me yesterday that you can make the hook out of round stock. I may just do that. do you know what the overall length is supposed to be? John Nasta -Original Message- John, I got onto this thread late, but if you're talking about the hook that supports either side of the E-brake, I went to Lowe's and got some round rod and made my own. Just bend it into two open hooks like an "S". One hooks into a hole in the body brace and the other holds slight tension on the cable. Ron Griffith

RE: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable
Thanks. Too bad they don't have pictures of any of it. It seems like there are several different hooks. I also still am not 100% sure which cable I need.

Re: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable
But the TH400 was introduced in Chevelles,in 1967. Clint HooperH&H Custom,owner1969 El Camino ProTourer2001 H-D FLHR custom baggerhttp://dalesplace.com/misc/friends/clint/clint_hooper.htm - Original Message - From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 69 was the first year Chevelles came with TH350 Larry (Z)

RE: [Chevelle-list] E-brake intermediate cable
A question has come up about the intermediate cable. My car came w/ a powerglide, but I changed it to a TH350. Delco lists these: INTERMED BRAKE CABLE TURBOHYDRAMATIC INTERMED BRAKE CABLE 3 SPD HEAVY DUTY OR 4 SPD INTERMED BRAKE CABLE 3 SPD EXC HEAVY DUTY and Wagner lists these: INTERMED BRAKE CABLE TH400 TRANS 2DR INTERMED BRAKE CABLE TH400 TRANS - MALIBU & SS INTERMED BRAKE CABLE EXC TH400 TRANS 4DR Which one would you say I need? A TH350 is a three speed, but when they are saying 3-spd heavy duty or not, are they referring to manual transmissions? There was no 4-speed automatic at that time. On the Wagner listings, it seems like it could only be the third one, except that an El Camino is on a station wagon frame, and that one doesn't seem to fit 4-door cars. I'm actually surprised that it makes a difference. It's not like there's such a shortage of space under there for a cable.
