throttle cable??? TPI to carb swap????

Ok guys, what kind of cable are you guys using. can I modify the stock TPI cable, or get a special linkage stud?

I know they make one for the trans cable, but what about the throttle.

This is for a holley 4160 #3310 carb.

show pics if you got em.

thanks.

I used the stock cable, it's too long but still works fine. Using Holley's throttle/TV cable bracket that Jegs sells. I used a stud from an assortment I had, works fine. Cotter pinned it on over the stud. Got a Mr gasket return spring setup and all was set with the carb crap. Also running a 3310 btw.

I might try that. I already have a bracket. The adjustable one from sprectre. It seems like it will work fine. Now I just need to figure out which stud will work the best.

Got any pics of how you did it?
