I've got a car in the shop that I'm finishing a 6 conversion on.

I seem to remember someone here making a cable type throttle linkage. I've used Rich Johnson's before, and have a kit here, but looking for an easier way.

Thanks in advance!

I installed this kit on my /6 Kermee after suffering multiple failures of the $100 coat hanger due to vibration stress cracking the rod at the point it is brazed into the curved center arch. It takes the cable directly through the firewall to a new bellcrank that you install on the rotating shaft between the carbs. Their link shows the pedal end...here is the engine end....

The installation on my track/race car is typically crude, I think you could dress it up a bit in a street application.
Note that any "direct" cable linkage to the throttle control will change the dynamic response versus the OEM bellcrank system. The angle of those bellcranks allows a slight opening of the throttle plates during the initial pedal travel, then progressively more as the pedal travel continues toward WFOT...Not a big issue in racing but might be a bit bothersome in a pure street application--YMMV.
