I am looking for some help on where to hook up the dash mounted throttle cable to my 1961 chevy 235 single barrel carb. I have the square block with the small screw in it for the choke cable, but cannot find a place to hook up the throttle cable. Any help would be appreciated. Photos would be better.

Thanks, Paul up in Alberta, Canada

Hello, so the throttle cable connects to the foot peddle linkage then and not the carb itself?

yes Paully, the cable hooks to the linkage, with a 'slip' fitting so the linkage can still throttle the carb higher

a factory assembly manual is a plus for working on these trucks

Would you by chance have a picture of the slip fitting.
Thanks, Paully

the cable end goes thru the linkage rod in place of a cotter pin, with the block on the end of it being the 'pull' .... need to track down bolter 'cmayna', who posted pics of the setup some time back .... also requires a special bracket on the corner of the carb like this that captures both the choke and throttle cable sheaths
