| Post subject: | super six! |
hey guys, posted a few days ago about a super six and aluminum 1 bbl at the local yard, got the whole super six setup, off of a volare that was driven into the yard, and an aluminum 1 bbl off a d 150, whole kit n caboodle for 43 bucks(inc. tax) so i think i should be able to do this based on the article on the main site, but i cant understand if i need the throttle cable off that or not, the car it is going onto is a 67 dart gt, thanks! |

For a direct swap, you'd need a V8 throttle cable to suit your '67 Dart. |

The one form the VOlare will work, but if I remember right your 67 should have a cable style throttle lnkage. THis will work so long as you drill out the little hole at the end of the cable. |

The one from the Volaré will work once you modify the firewall hole (early cars like yours have a round metal ferrule at the firewall end of the throttle cable; later cars like the Volaré have a larger square plastic ferrule. The existing cable is too long; if you loop or coil it to connect to the 2bbl attaching point, it'll bind. |

You might want to rebuild that carb while you are waiting for the cable. When I put the 2 bbl on my '69, I ended up using the cable from the '69 1bbl somehow or the other. If you have an auto tranny, you will want the tranny kick down linkeage. I had to splice the tranny end from my '69 to the carb end of the volare link. I did this with a threaded rod union, and cut and tapped both rods to fit the union. A lock nut is needed to keep it in adjustment. This arrangement gives you another kick down adjustment, which is more convenient than going down under the car. |
