Re: show me your rod throttle to DBC setups

Here is how I made my throttle cable. I used the stock LS cable by modifying it as follows: (1) I cut the swedged on end off of the firewall end of the cable. (2) I removed the cable from the housing. (3) I pulled the round plasitc end off of the housing by twisting and pulling like you were unscrewing it off of the housing. (4) I cut the housing to the correct length with an air cutoff tool and cleaned up the cut end with a small file and wire wheel to remove any burrs. (5) I re-installed the round plastic end. (6) I re-inserted the cable. Cable done! I didn’t want to cut the cable off until I made sure everything was correct. For the rear bracket I drilled a hole and cut a slot for the cable to fit into and drilled two holes in the bracket and the back mounting plate for the fuel rail and bolted it up. I still have to finish trimming the bracket. I had the carburetor stud on hand that fastens to the accelerator pedal arm but they can be purchased on e-Bay and probably other places. Here is a Lokar one that looks pretty nice but it may be too long.
