    Drill & tap new holes in yr linkage to change the Ratio , ( like Enderl set up ) then it will Chang the the amount of pull @ gas pedal,
    Now it will be completely adjustable !!
    On my Blown set up , I broke 3 of Lokar cable end at the Carb side , ( like in first pic of cable)
    Switched to Morse cable

    My set-up is all home made and works a treat. I use a marine grade standard style cable (not morse) The marine ones use a Stainless steel inner with a liner, very smooth. IMG_0045.JPG

    I've used motorcycle clutch or brake cables in the past, nylon lined, almost unbreakable.......
     
  5. I use a angle gauge to set up the arms to make sure they are perfectly even. I have not seen a post yet on toe loops. they are a great safety device if the throttle sticks open.

  8. Sure does work. A cable is all i have ever run. I push down on the gas pedal to open the throttle. Springs refurn it. Pulled back with the toe if needed. I should clarify that i dont use a flimsy little cable. I use a morse cable that can work as a pusher or puller.

    That would make a difference. The small cables don't push very well.

  10. The chassis shop in michigan sells the morse cables suitable for this type of application. They are offered as regular and extra flexible. I always go extra flexible. They also sell a full assortment of items to hook it all up. The chassis shop has a online catalog. Its one of my favorite places to buy cool parts for the car. Check it out.

    I was looking at good vibrations. The shortest cable push pull they sell is 24 inches. Moved the pedal around and spaced out. I think the problem is the lokar cable. It just feels rough. Pulling 2 carbs and a TV cable. I may have to go with a different pedal and a solid linkage with heim ends like a stock car.
