[V8Vairs] Throttle Assembly

[Jim Acker]

I'm close to getting my car on the road and am now working on the throttle
assembly.  More specifically, I am working on the linkage from the stock
pedal assembly to the Edelbrock carb.  The stock pedal is a pusher type and
the cable has a long way to go.  Do most you guys run a high quality cable,
like a Morse style, in a pusher configuration from the pedal to the carb?
Or, do you shorten the stock accelerator rod in the tunnel and use the stock
bell-crank to create a pull style?
 
I'm just trying to get a read on whether a push configuration really works
well over such a long distance. I'm planning to run it under the motor and
back up behind to the cable bracket I have between the driver side valve
cover and the distributor, much like Rick Norris did on his white car.  This
is nearly 10 ft of cable I'd be pushing!
