This whole time I figured you had a big ol' Hemi or something that's why you said a drill would reach....all the while I was thinking there would be lots of space with a small block or even a 440....

I say have at it...get that hole drilled  :2thumbs:

Question about the Shaker "CARB AIR" pull lever.  See attached photos.  I removed the old CARB AIR foil sticker to replace it with a new one.  The pull lever says "VENT".  I looked online at repops, and my CARB AIR pull lever is different than what's being made and sold today.  The total length is correct at 44", but I'm wondering if the previous owner just used a VENT pull from a different body Mopar, and just put the sticker on.  Did the factory put foil stickers on VENT pull cables for use with Shakers and/or Air Grabbers?  Can anyone solve this mystery for me?  I am considering buying a repop just to have a correct looking piece, although the VENT pull functions just fine.  Thanks.

Based on what I've read in the linked thread below, I believe I have an early repop (using a B-body VENT cable). With that, I think I'll just put on the new CARB AIR foil sticker, and be done (and happy) with it. I'd rather have an early repop that is more similar to the original cable, than a newer repop that has so many differences.  Any feedback still appreciated.  Thanks.
