Sometimes it's the little things... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The throttle has been sticking a bit and the kickdown not engaging so I reversed the connection point of the throttle cable to the inside of the Quadrajet throttle plate which aligned the throttle cable perfectly and whoa what a difference. Better peddle response and when it kicks down it's like a hornets nest was opened on the 350. Now to get a better kick down braket that doesn't require a zip tie
