what about the stud for the accelerator cable?? Do part stores carry them? It is an Edelbrock I've got on my truck.

They should have a wall display with all kinds of little studs for the different types of cables. The Orilley down the street here has them.

Re: Swap '69 throttle rod to 71-72 throttle cable???

I went acrosss the street to Autozone and the mgr gave me a whole kit. I can't say much for some of their parts, starters,alt., etc. but they help me out when ever I need it. Heck he just opened a new carb. box and gave me the whole bag of goodies.

Thanks for the help on the FAQ. I printed it off and put it in my "how to book"
