My info 82 83 truck parts says 4241 226 is for one barrel. 3820 952 for two barrel. 30 plus year old info, Trust worthy unkown?

Interesting. My numbers come from the 78-80 dealer parts book.

Here where it came from http://autoricambi-euroamerica.com/

Thanks!

I just measured my truck from the firewall to the mounting stud of my carb is 15". Allowing for a little sag in the cable and @ 3" inside the cab and the cable for my truck should be about 19-20" OAL. Now where is it!

All the cables I see are between 26.5 and 30" long. None of them are going to work without a loop, which we are trying to avoid.

Also just for reference: From the firewall to the super six cable clamp in a straight line is 9". That means the main housing should be 10-11" long

If anyone locates one let me know.

http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php ... 6569&jsn=4 MY aspen fire wall opening for throttle and the down angled bracket for carb are at same level, straight across from another. A short straight cable would not line up with angled bracket . Half a loop is needed ,like in the picture

Aspen and Volare two barrel cables did not have a loop. I have owned several and converted several. The one barrel cable was longer than the two barrel cable.

http://i1373.photobucket.com/albums/ag3 ... zfpif6.jpg Notice the two cables in the picture. Top full loop, bottom what I call half a loop or a dip.
,

The bottom cable in your picture is what I am trying to find for a truck. I already have a loop and what to eliminate it. I am using the original 1 barrel cable that was on my truck and I have a kind of a spiraled twist in it to get to the cable bracket.

Also just for the record, I searched through my 86 FSM for 45 minutes last night for a picture or a description with no luck.

I admit I have never worked on a 1980 two barrel Aspen or Volare, but every factory 77-79 Diplomat, LeBaron, Aspen, and Volare I have ever seen or worked on did not have a loop in the throttle cable. I have converted single barrel cars to two barrel carbs and re-used the single barrel throttle cable by looping it, but the factory two barrel cable was shorter than the single barrel and did not have a loop.

I suspect that the FSM page you are posting is a 1980 only item.

83 was the last year for Bbd. I think not sure.

http://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php ... 6569&jsn=4 This link shows the mounting length, 20 inches. Cut a length of wire to 20 inches. Go from fire wall down half loop and back up to angled bracket. Might be to long or too short or just right.
