[V8Vairs] Throttle Assembly

[Rick Norris]

Jim,
The Morse style cable works quite well in that configuration as long as you 
keep the bends as large as possible. I can't remember but I think I used a 
12 foot cable. I had to fab a different attachment point on the carb 
bellcrank to get enough travel to open the carb full throttle when the pedal 
was on the floor. You can see how I did it on the web page. Jegs has all the 
different ends and the small Heim joint I used.
