change to cable

[Timnmelinda]

Ok I mounted my weber(Holley/webber) on my 67 mustang yesterday with intent on modifying my linkage using as much factory set up as possible and still keeping my auto kick down functional with it.

It was not feasable in the time window I had and it is not the way to go I have decided.

Instead I am going cable throttle.
I do not need to keep kickdown, I can always downshift, but it would be nice.

My question is what is the best car to scrounge from? I know I want every part from foot pedal forward. any advice frome your experiences is appreciated!

I have drilled the adapter per the ford base, so carb sits lower and fuel bowl is proper. It still does not look like alot of height room any air cleaner suggestion while we are at it?

For the moment I have gone back to my 1 bbl.

Thanks
Tim

Cost a little more then junkyard, but keeps a more stock look going IMO.

I just switched to a Holley 2300 350 cfm 2 bbl carb with the Clifford adapter.

I used the stock linkage from the pedal through the firewall. Kept the bar set up all the way around the motor. Then I went to AutoZone and bought a universal throttle cable and universal throttle cable brackets.

I also went with a manual choke and ran that inside. I bought an Eldebrock air cleaner and put in a 13.5" X 2" Fram filter.

Or I could go back to this

NOT!!!! going back to the 1bbl

I would be very careful of the throttle cable right next to the exhaust manifold. Heat can do strange things to lower quality metals, such as a cable is made of, like weaken them.

Good luck,

I know.

I'm not done with it yet. Just not sure how I want it. I'm thinking about building some sort of heat shield.
