Hey everyone, so after looking at my Edelbrock 1406 I've noticed ALOT of play in the throttle. Come to find out, the throttle cable setup must be incorrect because I looked at the linkage on the original and where the throttle connects is different. The original is ribbed as pointed out. But I also saw where the throttle return spring was hooked here instead, in other pics. If some of you have pics of the correct or similar set up PLEASE HELP. Thanks!

 

Versus my incomplete set up

 

First use this in the hole that you have your spring attached to and attach the spring in the small hole below it.

Then try this in the end of your cable so it will fit on the stud.

I just used a bolt and nut w a plastic spacer in the hole where your return spring is. The olds cable rode on the plastic spacer so it would move smoothly. The return spring on mine was on the bottom thrttle arm and attached to the lower part of the throttle cable Brkt. The set up worked fine but I have a qjet on it now.

 

Randy your links are for the 2 alternative bushings for the carb. His spring should attach in the small hole under the hole its attached to now.

 

I changed that immediately after I posted it.

 

And I figured he could use the bushing in the cable end and the aluminum one for the carb.

 

A picture of his cable end would help me determine which part to recommend.

 

There it is.

You can also screw the stud above into this if you want to use the large carb hole.

Quick posted the bushing that should work,

And Randy posted this one earlier that will work in conjunction with your current stud.

The stock throttle cable is supposed to have a rubber bushing with a plastic sleeve in that hole. They are available from the usual repro parts sources.
