Re: Li'l Red Rides Again

Now, about that T.V. cable for the 200-4r. I had been both excited and dreading adapting it to my throttle body for a while. I wanted the linkage to be as close to a factory quadrajet setup as possible. The problem is the quadrajet linkage moves approx 78 degrees as it swings through its open to closed position where as the LS throttle body travels right at 86 degrees. So I broke out the calculator and took off my shoes so I could use all my toes to count on. Here's what I came up with.





Now on to building the bracket to hold the T.V. cable itself



All tacked up, ready for finish welding



Finished



It's a crappy pic, but here it is on the engine, i'm very happy with how it turned out. Seems like it does the trick just fine.
