Throttle cable question.

[Cheapsunglasses]

Hopefully this is the right place for this. I have a 68 GTX 440. With an AFB, or an AVS my throttle cable works fine. But I have purchased an Edelbrock AVS2, and now my cable is just a tad too short. Does anyone have an idea of what’s going on? Any help would be greatly appreciate!

You need the mopar bracket that bolts to the carb linkage

Well that’s a simple fix. Thank you very much!

You should also have a little bit of wiggle room where your throttle cable attaches to the manifold bracket if it doesn't quite reach out far enough.

I’m actually starting to pull it of the firewall grommet trying to get it that far, probably because I’m trying to make what I have work, instead of buying parts.

How much taller over the stock intake is that one you have on there?

I think the performer 440 is pretty close to stock height.

I have had to replace the short throttle cable that does not reach on some applications.
I don't know which cars had factory longer cables, so I just get the Lokar cable with the carb bracket and return springs.

A short link made of steel flat stock can bridge the span easily/cheaply.

I also did a swap to an Edelbrock several years ago, and found out about needing that linkage adapter for Mopars. Problem was solved.

It’s an Eddy performer with a 3/8” spacer, to help prevent vapor lock

Now that I'm not using that mini screen on my phone and on the laptop now, I can see the problem more clearly. Yeah, the adapter should do the trick.

I have the adapter ordered, and they say I’ll get it tomorrow or Thursday

Mancini Racing Throttle Return Kit

440 with kickdown pivot | AR Engineering

This throttle bracket is designed to work with an Edelbrock Performer RPM manifold on a B engine (383 or 400), or intakes which are similiar height. The bracket is the correct height to allow you to hook up a factory 3-part kickdown linkage to a factory carburetor when using a taller intake...

I don’t have the performer rpm, it’s just the regular performer.

Well looks like I have a present when I get home.
