Re: Post Your Straight Six Pics!

A lot of the bellcrank, boomerang parts came with the original Offenhauser intake kit.
I have no pix of the old set up. [Who thought anyone in the ''Future'' would ever be interested in what's under the hood].
Even before I tore down the doghouse on my Orange rig to pull the '67 block out, I rigged my Holley 8007 with a 50cc accelerator pump shot and a cable.
I used parts from a '72 GM truck and a non-Lokar cable.
Pic attached of the cable I have. [Shot of the glovebox spare cable]

I was ever so happy when I switched to cable. I could never get WOT out of that Rube Goldberg set up. I had to relearn how to use the gas pedal.
With cable I had instant response. Hair trigger. Had to keep foot off gas at a light. Wide open throttle was waiting my toe tip.
And no jams, breaks or lag.
