Mechanical Throttle Linkage for Factory Five
I am making some changes to a Factory Five cobra. There is a cable linkage setup right now on the car but it has a sticking point. The cable comes out of the front foot box up high and makes a sharp right turn and then bends again to make the turn come into the rear of the carburetor. Does anyone make a better setup or mechanical one like ERA but will work with the Factory Five?
Thanks for the help! |
You will have to custom make it yourself. You can get all the parts from McMaster-Carr
|
I make all the parts for them per original if you wanted to try some parts to see if it will work for your set up.
|
Try turning the carb around and having a front entry to the cable. Some have done it to eliminate the S bend.

Ernie,
I recently did a modification that allowed the cable to pull the throttle from the front of the carb, not the back. Great modification, looks great, works 100% better. I did this for the same reason you are looking at the mechnical. If I had to do it all over again, I would go mechnical, but it would be really tough in my engine bay. This front cable pull is the way to go, and was really easy to do. |
Mechanical linkage is on my to-do list. Here's another source for parts if you want to fab your own.

I am in the process of building a big block FFR and I am looking for a larger gas tank, anyone know where one can be obtained? Stock Mustang tank doesn't give much cruising range.

Fuel Safe makes a fuel cell that holds 20+ gallons and bolts right in
|
Do you want a tank or a cell?

I run the stock cable on my ffr with the cable coming out of the foot box making one u bend and it is from the front, I used a throttle cable bracket from summit and had to fab a mount to lock the cable. here are a few pics.
