so i got my car running but im not to sure what i have to do for the throttle cable. i swapped my 3.1 mpfi out for a 383 stroker, i dont know if it matters or not but im running a dual plane manifold with a edelbrock 750, does anyone know what cable would work for this and any brackets if i need one? thanks alot

 

I am currently running a universal bracket assemly from summit. It was less than 20 bucks, and its cheap. It works ok though. YOu could even go boneyard walking and find some stuff. As far as the throttle cable, my car was an 87 with a 2.8mpfi. Same basic look, just different bottom end. My stock cable worked with the bracket and an eddy intake and carb.

 

A stock cable for '82-'87 V8 carb will work without having to wind around anything. I haven't checked for availability from the dealer new, but it shouldn't be too hard to find from a member.

Hmmm, come to think of it, I have one available now. . .

 

thanks guys youve been very helpful. now this is my first swap and im goin with the th400 and i have the kickdown switch for it but theres a cable that goes with it right? and besides the kickdown switch is there anything else i have to worry about to hook the trans up? and will the stock shifter linkage hook up to this 400?

 

The kickdown "cable" is a wire. Power to the switch, other side to the tranny. When the switch closes, the tranny kicks down.

You also need to hook up the vacuum modulator.

I'm not sure the shifter cable will bolt to the tranny pan. Probably will, but I'm just not sure. I know a Mega Shifter will. . .

 

ya i really want to get that console megashifer but right now i want to get this thing done by summer so i can enjoy it lol i cant wait thanks alot
