Replaced my 318 in my 74 challenger with a 340. Put a Edelbrock manifold and carb. on, but it seems the throttle cable distance is too short, it won't reach using the 318 throttle cable bracket...etc. Is there a special bracket for that?


I am running the exact same installation on my 73 318 E body. I have an automatic transmission so I had to deal with the transmission throttle lever as well. The height and geometry would not allow any of the stock pieces to fit.
I used the Beauchillon engineering solution to make it all work. It has been in the car for 3,000 miles and other than a loose bolt on the transmission end mount, it has worked flawlessly. I am using my stock accelerator cable.
