I'm in the process of replacing the exhaust on my 1966 Mustang automatic with the 200 i6. I installed a set of headers that I got from vintageonline. The headers went in great and they look good. But, the headers are blocking the throttle arm. I have no easy solution to this problem.
I can attempt to bend or fashion a new throttle arm, but that's not ideal.
I called Lokar to ask about converting it to a throttle cable system. The tech at Lokar said they have no direct answer to my problem. The throttle on the carb is going the wrong direction. And he had no answer for the kick down on the transmission.
I know other people have installed headers on this engine, and have found a solution to the throttle arm problem. I'd rather not attempt to engineer a solution to a problem with a known working solution.
To complicate things further, I replaced the Autolite 1100 carb with the Holley Sniper Autolite 1100 EFI system last summer. That's actually what is prompting the exhaust replacement. The exhaust was a leaky mess and the O2 sensor was getting garbage values and the EFI system couldn't properly learn.
Has anyone here solved this problem? I'm sure I could make the Lokar work, but the bracket at the "carb" assembly is an issue, Lokar says they have nothing to solve that. Has anyone made a throttle cable system work on this engine/car/transmission combo work? I've seen several posts similar to this, but I can't tell what the full solutions were.
Thanks
