71 super · 01-22-2008, 02:53 AM

still available from gm don't have part number but it is the same as one for any 2wd v8

**68350** · 01-22-2008, 09:15 AM

not available for bb's. i ordered about 4 different ones, trying everything from 350's to 402's to cars.

71 super · 01-22-2008, 01:35 PM

I did not have any problems with the new one I ordered for mine- listed as fitting both sb and bb-what type of problem are you having with yours? Car cables are too long- my 4x4 had one in it and I know 6 cylinders are different but bb and sb if mounted in original positions use the same length cable. You might contact uncle and see if he has a cable he will sell, he was just parting out 71/72 GMC w/bb a week or so ago.

yeah, cable is too long between firewall and bracket on carb. seems like the 73 350 4 barrel pickups will work. thanks

Is your engine mounted in the stock BB location? How close is the distributor to the firewall?

it's a 68 gmc was a inline 6 4 speed truck since converted to a 69 396/th400 from a parts truck. used the mounts and tranny crossmember from the longhorn 69. idk why it's so difficult??

**uncle** · 01-29-2008, 10:25 AM

Won't you need a rod instead of a cable or have you converted it?

Longhorn Man · 01-29-2008, 11:16 AM

unless there's been some cutting on the firewall... a rod should be used in both the 68 and 69 aplications.
