Intake spacer question
So I have an aftermarket (Weiand) INTAKE with a spacer on it. The issue I'm having is that the spacer puts my throttle cable at an awkward angle which makes my gas peddle go from nothing to everything in a hurry. This is a problem with my 4 speed manual.
So, do any of you guys know of anyone that makes a bracket to raise the position of the throttle cable? Something that will go around the back of the carb just to lift it a little? Have any of you guys encountered this problem? Here's a pic of my throttle cable - Last edited by Space Monkey; 03-24-2013 at 12:07 AM. |

Re: Intake spacer question
Can you break it down like a fraction for me? Longer bolts where with flat washers on the bottom of what?
I'm sorry, I'm super new at all this and learning as I go. |

Re: Intake spacer question
Get the other throttle bracket. Your local parts store should have one.

Re: Intake spacer question
In your pic you have the transmission cable bracket and not the upper throttle bracket

Re: Intake spacer question
I'm with Redcap. Get a bracket. Factory used one that bolted to the carb base. See what the auto parts store has and maybe a trip to the salvage yard.
