I've had another card on it and had to shorten the rod to the carb,,thread it and use different pieces to hook it up. Never really got full throttle and rubbed a little on the exhaust header. Getting it out from behind the exhaust pipes would be a time saver, Anyone changed over to cable and eliminating the
original linkage?

Just do a little geometry homework and figure out how much cable travel you'll need to get smooth operation from idle to wide open throttle and fabricate some bellcranks. Be sure you've got a good return spring right at the carburetor- - - -a broken cable or a slipped clamp can increase your pucker factor if the throttle doesn't close right away!
