| | | | Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 7 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2013 Posts: 7 | 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.
