Manual Hardware Installation
Location A: Install THROTTLE VALVE LEVER (provided in this kit) onto valve body throttle pressure stud. Lever will just install properly (1) manner. Tighten pinch bolt on lever. Cheque move of lever from front to rear.
Location B: Install RETURN SPRING BRACKET with O.Due east. selector shaft subclass stud and nut, or when not present, 7/xvi" ten ane i/4" BOLT NUT, FLAT WASHER, and LOCK WASHER. Install RETURN Jump through hole in LEVER and Jump BRACKET. Cheque, at this time, lever movement throughout travel and make sure it does not bind and returns back forward when released. (slight free travel in lever forward position is normal)
Location C: Install CABLE BRACKET (TRANS.) onto lower boss with iii/8" x one ane/4" Bolt, NUT, WASHER, and LOCK WASHER provided. Some aftermarket cable shift, shifters utilize this pigsty likewise. When found, enlargement of hole in Cablevision Bracket (TRANS.) may be required. At this time, check floor clearance on installed bracket. Some early on A-bodys crave slight dimple of floor pan for proper clearance.
Transmission Cable End Installation
Step i. Install CABLE Finish onto THROTTLE VALVE LEVER on transmission by firmly snapping ball onto stud together. (see Figure 7A)
Footstep 2. Take hold of CABLE housing and snap over CABLE BRACKET (TRANS.). (meet Figure 7B)
Notation: Make sure at this time cablevision routing is clear of all obstructions including frazzle pipes and rotating components!! Using cable ties at various points makes installation permanent.
Step 3. Route Cablevision onto top of main transmission case, past looping towards passenger side and post-obit centerline of transmission case. Feed loose stop of Cablevision between back of engine and firewall, making Cable (CARB. END) accessible from top of engine.
Carburetor Cablevision End Installation
Stride ane. The carburetor finish of the CABLE is equipped with a bound loaded push button adjustment. The button is located opposite the round protruded finish, identified with 2 arrows. The leap push is very hard to overcome but adjusts easily when pressed firmly. Make certain adjustment on Cable exhibits bullet shaped cease outside of locking housing. Insert CABLE into CABLE Bracket (CARB.) from rear of O.Due east. throttle bracket forward until Cable snaps firmly into place. (Note: cablevision will snap into bracket 2 means due to locating ribs. (see Figure 8A)
Step 2. Install KICKDOWN Cable STUD and NUT (included) in lesser hole of THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. Stud may go on either side, as long as THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER / Cable STUD are perpendicular with cable. Non-perpendicular installations of CABLE will impairment cable plastic snap on end. There is no repair for the broken plastic snap on ends except replacement of CABLE. (run into Figure 8B)
Footstep iii. Pull Cablevision END forrard and firmly; but squarely push back onto Cablevision ATTACHING STUD. (run into Figure 8C)
Step 4: Recheck installation of CABLE and THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. Some O.E. applications allow the THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER to be installed inside or outside of original carburetor lever, for appearance or fit. At this fourth dimension, examine upper Cable with relation to THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. Depending on awarding, determine side of THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER to install CABLE ATTACHING STUD. Tighten all STUDS, BOLTS, and Nuts installed on carburetor and THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. (run across Figure 8D)
Footstep 5. Make sure choke is wide open and fast idle cam is released to hot idle position. Pull back on O.E. accelerator cable and THROTTLE Pressure CABLE ASSEMBLY to remove slack from both cables. Examination accelerator opening of carburetor from inside and have someone outside inspecting operation of carburetor opening and closing, from idle stop to wide open throttle. Manually open carburetor throttle lever and examine throttle valve lever. At wide open throttle, THROTTLE VALVE LEVER on transmission must move rearward against stop. There is generally plenty of aligning at the Cablevision Bracket (CARB.) to accomplish this condition. If more aligning is required, depressing push on upper Cablevision END will allow ample improvement.
OVERVIEW:
1. When THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER is installed properly on carburetor, the Cablevision ATTACHING STUD will have a total travel between 1 1/8" and 1 i/four" from curb idle to wide open throttle.
two. Modifications to some O.Eastward. accelerator brackets may be required. Both accelerator cable and throttle pressure level cable work best when both cables are directly, parallel, and mounted on top of each other.
3. Some applications such every bit pre-67 O.E. carburetors, and many numerous applications too lengthy to list may also utilise this system as long every bit Overview #one and #2 are kept in mind during installation. THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER may be installed on original throttle lever with O.E. accelerator cable stud and drilling a 3/16" hole through throttle lever of carb. to correspond with heart shaped hole in THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER and attach with 3/xvi" screw and nut provided in the kit.
iv. O.E. Chrysler cruise control works very well with this kit. Only reinstall O.Eastward. Lost Motility Link and separate pin into 3/xvi" hole in front of 5/xvi" pigsty in THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. Reinstall cruise cable and arrange

HELPFUL HINTS
ane. If kit was originally installed on an O.E. or Carter / Edelbrock Carburetor and THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER was cut, it tin can exist reinstalled onto Universal Holley by purchasing Holley role # xx-seven. Align & drill function # 20-7 using existing pigsty in THROTTLE LEVER ADAPTER. Install Spiral & Nut provided.
2. Accelerator Cables have been found, in a lot of 2bl. to 4bl. change overs, to be too brusk. Supplant with 225 6 cyl. version for your application or telephone call us. We offer ii extra long cables. I has the square plastic terminate through firewall, BPE function # CA8408. The other has the round hole held through firewall with an E-clip, BPE function # CA8418.
three. Many applications with 4bl. carburetors installed take wrong or wrong accelerator cable brackets (due to going from 2bl. to 4bl., or taller than stock intake manifold). We recommend a NEW Accelerator Cable Mounting Bracket that installs on the mounting commodities at the rear of the carburetor. It installs the accelerator cable in the correct location and position for all one or two 4bl. applications. Information technology works great with manual transmissions and is a perfect compliment to our Kickdown Cable Kit. It cleans up the intake appearance and gives your engine compartment that state of the art look.
