cable to linkage conversion?

[olddog]

All though the ERA linkage is period correct, you should know that was very unsafe technology.

I woke up one morning and hopped in my 66 Cyclone, started it, and dropped it into reverse. When I hit the throttle to back out of the drive way, the engine raised up and hit the hood, pulling the throttle wide open. With me standing on the brake peddle and the car digging gravel with the back wheels and front wheels sliding, I was able to get my wits about me and turn the key off before it got to the road. I don't know if the engine mount had broken sitting over night or if it finish breaking as I was driving home, but I backed out of a parking space before driving it home the night before with no problem.

I only had a 335 Hp 390. What would happen if your monster did that?

I have both cable and linkage each in my two cars. The linkage has been way easier to control and keep tuned. The cable stretch's and then reqiures attention now and then. I do lubricate each rod end with a drop of oil annually as it takes about 3 minutes. Then I check for play or bind, top quality components are key I think as is looking things over once or twice a year.

Both work, if your linkage in a Cobra catch's on the hood your setting it up wrong.
Call John Bessey! He has a bunch of experience with linkage.
