I remember a while back, there were issues with the lead ball being too small, or not a good enough crimp? are some vendors better than others? im looking for a 71 b-body small block.. thanks -kevin 1971 Plymouth Duster 340 auto 1937 Plymouth PT50 1969 Dodge Dart Swinger 340 4 speed 2013 Ram laramie 2500 hemi 2008 Harley FLSTSB springer

Differences were the square plastic piece that fits into the firewall was slightly smaller and not quite as tight as factory. My factory cable had two metal sleeves where it connects to the carb. One for clamping into the throttle cable bracket and one that was at the end of the cable where it connects to the carb. A/Z only had the one that is used for clamping. FWIW it got me back on the road. edit: I take that back, both sleeves are there.
