Has any one converted a 1967 442 over to a cable setup instead of the factory throttle linkage setup? If so how did you do it and where did you get the parts. Thanks

 

if the firewall is the same as 66, i got a setup out of a later 70's hatchback nova that bolted right to my firewall and has a cable setup. idk if it makes a difference that my car started as a 6 cyl car

 

Ok. You wouldn't happen to a picture of your setup would you. 66 and 67 are the same if I'm not mistaken.

 

the plastic pivot part bolted right to my car, i didnt drill a single hole. i did cut and shorten the rod that holds the cable to better fit the car although i believe it may work as a simple bolt on.

Hmm that's an idea. I do have a brand new stainless steel lokar throttle cable on the shelf from something else that I could use but I would need to get a lokar pedal and carb bracket. I would like to stay clear of that because we want to run a more stock look. So idk where we are going to go with it.

 

for the price and minor work i think it is a great option that looks like it could be stock.

 

I used my stock, throttle linkage on my 455 for the first ride after replacing the 330. All proud,we took to the highway and topped out at about 50 mph. The stock linkage didn't have much throw to open the carburetor, but I was cruising.

I will confess, I have one Chevy part on my car. The throttle lever and firewall bracket from an Impala fit and worked perfectly with my custom carb linkage.

 

I understand the 66 pedal assembly for a Chevelle from Lokar works also.

 

Larry you wouldn't happen. To have any pictures of said setup you have would you?

 

Sorry for the delay. The Impala may have been a '66 or '67....
The rod I threaded to fit and the linkage pivots were found on mcmastercarr.com.

 

Keep in mind that if you still have the original Switch-Pitch transmission, a cable setup disables it.

 

Not sure who's reply you are talking get about but if it was to my original post.......we are running a 200r4 with a TV cable.
