    Throttle cable length
    « on: December 16, 2014 - 02:20:11 PM »
    Can anyone tell me what length my throttle cable should be ? Bought a replacement locally for 72 340 cuda but appears to be too short, original one was about 22 1/2" but replacement only about 20". Car has a torker manifold & 4106 Edelbrock carb. I don't want to ring supplier unless I'm sure he sent me the wrong one.
    cheers...

    Intake is std height, so no problems there. After reading the above links I am pretty sure he sent me the wrong one even though he insists that the larger cable (23") is for big blocks. He's going to send anyway so I can compare.
    thanks all....
