Default Go to steel tube linkage system

cycleguy55 Gald neither you or your car where hurt. I have had the same cable issues on my 85 truck and jeeps of the 70's. Cable binds or has too tight a bent. Lack of lube over time wears out the inside surface and when hot it binds. If you can find a picture of an ERA throttle linkage, I would highly reccomend making a setup like this. Heim joints and tubing give easier movement and no binding with this setup. been running mine for 15 years with a double spring and movement is still easy. WOT doesn't effect the angles of the linkage either. I believe back in the old days of multi carbs, most setups ran linkage from carb to carb. The pedal to carb was a short straight run of cable. Good luck Rick L.
