TB cable misalignment...???
Got a '76 w/ a '95 LT1 and having a problem w/ the throttle cable not falling back in it's "guide" if I get past about 30% (just a guess... whenever I get on it a bit). This seems impossible, in that the cable fits EXECTLY where it should in the bracket and is in-line w/ everything (there's no adjustments in the position of the TB, bracket or cable).
How can I keep the cable inline?
Thanks...this makes me crazy!

That cable used to go through an ASR system that had a tensioner pulley setup in it that kept the cable tight.You will have to come up with some way of keeping the cable tight behind that spot.

Wow, that "ASR" is a complicated little "thing-a-ma-jig", but I guess serves it's purpose if you have Cruise Control and/or Traction Control.
Since I don't have either (although I guess I could rig up the Cruise Control), I purchased an F-body cable, as I was told or read somewhere that it would work. I guess I need to check out the F-body throttle cable set-up and see how theirs stays in place, or maybe find a used "ASR" and gut the electrical compenents out of it and just use the cams...???

Ya Know I was thinking that the cable you have does have an adjuster on it if it is from a post 93 F-body.It might look like a junction with a button on it.If you push that button it will release the cable. Then you push the pedal to the floor to adjust it.I think that is how it works.
