RE: 2 BBL to 4 BBL Throttle Hook-up

[Rich Kinsley <rlkinsley@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm sure you can fab a throttle and kickdown if you have the tech 
ability. It kinda depends on your skills. Welding would be helpful bit 
threading and rod couplings, etc could work. 

I just liked the ease of the cable. It's much shorter than you'd think 
too. I wound up with a 25" (?) throttle cable and still cut it down a 
little. That was with dual quads so my throttle attachs at the rear 
carb. Yours would be a little longer but the 25" should be good without 
cutting it. Give it a try to fab stockish and fall back on the cable if 
you have too much hassle for you.
