Re: cable too long

Can't see in the pic what carburator you are running, but the linkage has to be set up correctly for the TV Cable to work properly; I believe most quadrajet carbs have the correct linkage, but Edelbrock and Holley carbs will need a special bracket to maintain the correct ratio between the throttle and Valve Body movement. And of course you must make sure you do an initial TV Cable adjustment, even with the correct linkage.
