throttle cable bracket

[nathan_454]

I swapped a non smog intake manifold onto my L20B and it does not have the provisions for the throttle cable bracket that was on the stock l20 manifold. I've got a weber on the way but am not sure how I am going to mount the cable. anyone know something I dont???? thanks guys!

I'm pretty sure that's a custom fabb'd piece.

new weber come with a bracket.

The one in a photo above is afor a 521 which needs to be modded apit as the weber spaceing is abit wider so might have to oblong the holes. and may make another hole for the cable so the cable isnt at a angle to the throttle pully

Of course there's another concern- late L20Bs don't use the same kind of throttle cable. The early ones had the threaded, adjustable cable shroud like pictured. Truck L16s and L18s had the same type. But later ones used a clamp setup, there's no threads on the cable shroud.

 

I had to mickey-mouse something to work. It's really ugly, involved a lot of zip-ties. Eventually got an earlier style throttle cable and made an actual bracket. The better way would be to take the stock bracket, attach it to the cable with the cable on the weber, then build a new bracket to go between the original bracket and whatever you can find to attach it to.

get some sheetmetal, a hammer, a cut off wheel and a vise and go to town bro, you cant go wrong with a good ole homemade cable bracket!!!

excuse me for hijacking,but I have a similar problem.

I've got a 73 620 with an engine from a 70's 510. There's no bracket for the cable. I have another 73 that was built 5 months earlier and it uses a different cable! Did the factory change things that much?

Thanks

 

This is the one I need a bracket for.

heres a couple pics of my trucks throttle cable setup...

 

i knowit aint a real weber, but its close..

 

the bracket is just a homemade piece, and the cable is from like an 82 720.
