Has anyone come up with a simplified and cheaper way of operating the carb linkage.
I cannot see paying all that money for the trans bracket setup. Plus it seems like there are to many adjustments that way. Any help would be appreciated. |

Modify the throttle arm on the crossbar so the pull is forward rather than aft, then just use a 914 throttle cable. I've never seen this done, but it wouldn't be all that hard to do.

On my six conversion we use the four cylinder cable and made a small "L" shaped bracket that bolted to the rear of the block, where the tranny is mated. A hole was drilled for the outer cable to go through and line it up with the throttle arm. The cable pulls the throttle arm to the rear. Good luck

I have a similar aggangement to John, but I had a custom cable made with teflon coated inner cable. I could never get all the bell cranks and levers to work out probably because the po modified it all.

Here's a pict of mine. You can see the "L" bracket behind the fuel lines. The small cable is a bicycle inner and outer that goes to the heater lever and acts as a speed increaser when I start the engine of the race car.
