Mechanical Throttle Linkage - Forte Anyone?

Anybody running this on their 33? I'm not too enthusiastic about the cable on mine now although I have no issues with the one on my Roadster.

Interesting. I've got a 383 Chevy with the Sniper. My cable is an s-bend to get them to align. I guess this link could do the same thing. I found the instructions here https://fortesparts.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Mechanical-Throttle-Linkage-Installation-Instructions.pdf.

That looks like a pretty good solution. Need to think about this one while it's all blown apart for paint!

Those instructions are for his Roadster linkage which is a bit different and doesn't come with the gas pedal. Looks like his 33 version involves the gas pedal linkage coming thru the firewall. Anyway my 33 throttle cable is too short and binds so looking at options.

What is it you don't like about the cable?

Here’s how mine looks. I sprayed teflon in the tube and it is quite smooth. But, I’m a bit concerned about either of the ends detaching and leaving me stranded!!
