Hi Jay, Going to Cruza-Poluza in New Brighton today?
There's a couple guys who converted to Lokar's cable & bracket. Nice stuff. That's what I'd use. I think Steve Straus was the most recent swap. Hold onto your Holley throttle cable bracket that mounts to your carb though. They don't make them anymore! :eek:

Re: Throttle linkage dress up (1970 Stingray)
Just did my Lokar cable and CSI bracket, although someone posted that the CSI bracket won't work with a drop base like the L-88 setup, but I'm going to try to mod a cheap $10 base first to see if I can keep the CSI bracket. Lokar makes a nice bracket as well.

I've got a chrome bracket from Summit. This winter I'll do the contortions and replace the throttle cable with something nice. Maybe a Lokar.

Re: Throttle linkage dress up (A C)
Filed my own mount when it was raining outside...
Combined with carb heat shield and cold start solenoid mount.
Not so nice as Lokars, but fun to do.
