1970 cutlass 350

Can anybody tell me what the two cables are that come out of the fire wall? I know ones The throttle cable. But thats the other one?

 

speedo cable come from down below on the drivers side or could be the kickdown for a turbo 350

 

X2, TH350 kickdown cable...

 

Perrfect, thank you good sir.

 

your very welcome and have a fine evening

 

Dose anyone know if running a eddie carb wil require a longer throttle cable then stock length?

 

I am pretty sure you will be fine but pilot will confirm, on a 66 we use a throttle rod and it works just fine with the aftermarket carbs.

 

Alright, my cars been apart for quiet some time. Now that its time to put things back i wish i took more pictures haha. O well i got a assembly manual coming in the mail. Just trying to get all the little stuff out of the way gathering up parts. Old gal gose into the shop next week. FINALY!

 

No, you don't need to change the throttle cable...but you will need to modify the throttle bracket to clear the back of the carb. There are some little braces or something on the back of them that hit the bracket. You can either clearance the bracket or clearance the carb...I prefer the bracket over a newly purchased carb.

I have used 1" steel plate to make an adapter bracket that clears the carb and bolts in the factory location...then drill holes for the factory bracket in the adapter plate and bolt them together. Just an idea that has worked for me.

 

Should be okay, the carb was already on the car, both the cables got messed up while pulling the motor out (cause im a genius) as far as i know they appeared original to the car but i wasent sure so i was skeptical on just geting stock length after markets

Like i said, just trying to take care of all this little stuff before the shop takes over and charges me for it

Thank you!

 

Just ran into this forum, you from the Ventura county too??

 

Welcome aboard guy, and yeah im out in camarillo. Is your cutlass red? like '70 71?!

 

Right on brotha! Im out here in Ventura....no I have a 72 cutlass gray white vinyl top and white racing stripes just picked it up about a month ago, it's def gots some work to be put in.....I know which red one your talking about tho! I saw it at a gas station by my house the other day, that car looks sick!! It's the convertible right??

 

Sweet, yeah thats the one. I see it all the time and always wonder whos it is. Not everyday you see one around here atleast. What needs to be done on your car? Is it running? I bought mine off a friend some months back, its a '70 ended up with a spun rod bearing tho so shes been sitting for a few months now finaly getting that electrical in and the motors about to be sent out and rebuilt! I cant wait!

 

The cars running right now, everythings pretty much stock besides the 4bbl carb, I'm lookin to take it one step at a time...starting from the rear end switching gears up to posi 3.42 adding dual exhaust and headers then work my way towards the engine/tranny hopefully be able to lay some rubber down soon. It also needs body work. Are you lookin to do a stock rebuild or wake up the good ol 350?!

 

At first i wanted to do more then just wake it up, but after i thought about it (and saw prices lol) i figurednstock rebuilds the best way to go as this will be a driver. So far ive replaced all the bushings up front and ball joints, got a disc brake kit in the mail new suspension. The motor, new electrical harness (if i dnt commit suicide trying to put it in) rebuilt tranny nice big radiator. just going for super solid. I got lucky cuase the bodys clean as is the inside. Id like to do posi but on a stock build its whatever to me, but this oeg leg **** is killing me lol

Hopefully i can get this b!tch running, we could meet up. You ever go to the camarillo car shows? Not sure if there still going but i want to start entering the car when its done.
