clutchdust Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 i put the arizona Z intake and 390 holley on my rebuild. i was trying to figure out how i was going to work the throttle. i could have done a simple sheathed cable but why when there's an opportunity to make it 'cool'. did i succeed? http://s536.photobucket.com/albums/ff330/clutchdust/?action=view¤t=SS854326.flv [EDIT] if you want to give me some pointers on how to embed photobucket videos i'm all ears.

dhartig Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Nice clean engine. I think the workmanship looks good. How smooth does it feel at the gas pedal, and do you have any concerns about vibration causing the cable to slip off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutchdust Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 thanks guys. i especially appreciate the comments on how clean it looks. and here i've been preparing to defend the ugliness of my engine bay. i was even going to put in a disclaimer about needing to clean up the engine bay. i haven't had any indication of a cable issue with it, unless by habit i hit the throttle on the carb. then the cable falls off the pulleys. as long as i use the lever on the firewall (or the gas pedal) i have yet to have a problem. of course, i don't even have 20 miles on it since getting this motor running so i'm still in the "validation" phase. now i just need to run a full length pipe and a steel fuel line across the engine bay and clean up the wiring and......

MikeBZ Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Very clean ! You could find some deeper groove pulleys or put fender washers on the top and bottom of the pulley to help prevent the cable from popping off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
