six pack throttle cable

for a 70 B body, is the cable the same as the 440 cable?

any suggestions as to where to pick one up?

Not sure , I went from a 4 Barrel to a 6BBL on my 69 RR 4 Speed with a 440 and used the same cable !!

Took this from another thread

I'm getting this info from my dirrect connection performance book


426 hemi num 341841 19.50 overall 10 inch housing


440-6 num 341841 21.35 overal 11.75 housing

440 4 3769123 22.85 overall 13.25 housing

thanks for that!

interesting, as I looked at those, I would think the 6 pack cable would be the longer one. both the center 2 bbl and the 4 bbl sit in the middle of the manifold, but the primaries of the 4 bbl would sit farther back toward the firewall, as from front to back it is a longer dimension than the 2bbl.

anyway, I'll try and look those up.

Glad I could help

I've heard that a throttle cable from a V-8 with a 2bbl is pretty close in a pinch for a 6bbl setup. What Chrysler V-8's had a Holley 2bbl through the years? Thanks.

Mega Parts has a pretty good selection of throttle cables.

Same here, always used the stock 4 bbl cable when going from 4bbl to 6bbl be it on a SmBlk, B,Blk or HEMI 6bbl induction, 68-70 Body, 71-2 Body, or 70-4 E body

Hemi 6bbl, that's what it's for! thanks!

good resource, thanks! they do list a separate cable for the 6bbl and the 4bbl. same price, so why not? I'll go with the 6bbl.

I think your part numbers are incorrect or for an E body / 71+ B body

The correct part numbers for 70 RR should be:
2843751 - 426 Hemi
3418846 - 440 SIXPACK
3899339 - 383/440 4 barrel

However I think most of us have gotten the 4 barrel cable to work

mickm,

I have bought quite a few items from Mega Parts over the years and they always seem to have good products. I highly recommend them.

I didn't research, just took it off another thread. It could be for those cars.

You were framed!

LOL - no worries

I've been through this twice. My car came 383 4bbl. and I swapped in a 440+6. What I found (been a few years) is that the stock 4 bbl. cable did not have enough "throw" for a six pack. What I mean by this is that the length of exposed metal cable on the carburetor side was not long enough to fully open the center carburetor.

Also, the E-body & '71-up B-body six pack cables (available from Direct Connection since the late 80's) have a square plastic plug where it goes through the firewall & my '70 has a round plug hole.

There may be accurate reproductions today. I've also wondered how hard it would be to get a long'ish cable & trim back some of the outer black plastic to get enough "thow" for a six pack.

Both times I replaced mine I bought a used original part.

This may or may not be of any help but the '69(1/2) A12 package deleted the 383 4bbl throttle cable p/n 2899339 and replaced it with 3x2bbl throttle cable p/n 3418846 which is shown on the '70 info above to be the same. I found that Mopar Performance and other vendors (including Chrysler FCA) show the current throttle cable number to be P4529111 and some still list the original 3418846 440 3x2.

This is from Bill-A/gtx6970

Very interesting. From what I recall, the metal end (carb side) labelled as "S" in that diagram would hit the carb side of the outer cable (right side of what is marked "H") at about 85% of throttle opening of the center carb. I'm pretty sure the throttle cable on my '70 383 was original....but not positive. I'm also pretty sure that the A-12 throttle cable is the same as a '70 six pack. I'm curious why I see TWO six pack throttle cable numbers in Big E's chart.... is one (3418840) the '70 (round hole) and the other one (3418846) the '71 (square hole)? I would tend to think so since the 3418846 number lists "440 3x2 & 340 3x2" and since they only put the 340 3x2 in E-bodies.
