Thanks!

Heres the pic I noticed:

What cable brand/part number did you use and any issues with making that angle?

I haven't installed it yet. Was planning to do it next couple days. I plan to use Mr Gaskets universal (cut to fit) throttle cable. Part # MRG-5657

I got the idea from this guy's build I found on Instagram.


Also, did you switch back to the factory kick down bracket?

Yeah, I did. I'm using Lokar's kick down cable which was made for stock factory length. With the higher intake rise and the spacer between the carb, it was putting too much of an angle / bend on the TV cable. If I was to do it again, I would use a universal (cut to fit) TV cable.
