In the process of hooking up the throttle cable to the my Edelbrock 1407. My car is a 71 charger and I have a 440 engine in it. In the process of hooking it up I am starting to wonder if I have the right parts. I have run into this in the past where a previous owner did some parts swaps. From what I can tell #1 in the picture holds down the cable and then the inner cable connects to a bracket in either hole 3 or hole 4. I played around with it and it doesn't look like the ball and nut that came with it doesn't fit my cable. My big question is looking at the picture I can't figure out what exactly #2 does.




Here is the throttle cable and the spring.

You need the Chrysler throttle lever adapter

Number 2 is part of the kickdown linkage on an automatic transmission setup.

The ball and stud are not used in your setup, you will need the stock throttle stud though.

Here's what the linkage looks like when connected.

Well that is an interesting twist. My tranny is a manual.

All you need is the throttle stud then. I drilled out the top hole in my Edelbrock lever (#4 in your pic) and it worked fine with the stock stud and cable. The Edelbrock Chrysler adapter mentioned above will give you some wiggle room with your cabe though and it's only about $13. You need the throttle return spring bracket also. Mounts under front mani bolt. Check the above diagram. You can also drive out stud #2 in your pic you won't need it with a 4 speed.

I just did this on a '69 GTS 340 automatic. If you don't use the Edelbrock adapter the throttle stud is too far to the center of the engine and puts the throttle cable in a bind. Again, this was an automatic.

Looking at your pic again I see that you do not have a spacer between the manifold and carb. Edelbrock has many to choose from check their website. You'll want to add one before you fire it up. There are too many posts on this site trashing and hailing that carb. Use the search function to learn as much as you can about it.
And move your Accelerator Pump Rod to the middle hole.

I couldn't tell if it was a stick or not, no kickdown needed on a stick obviously, but as mentioned, without the adapter the cable is in a funky angle to the linkage. If you chose to not use the adapter then make sure the throttle opens completed with the pedal to the floor.

and this http://www.dantesparts.com/carblinkagestuds.html and a Carburetor Linkage Stud Nut. I'm sure you can buy it cheaper somewhere else.

move the pump rod to the middle hole last as all the pumping for this mockup to take care of this will dump raw feul into the eng for no good reason. Not a dealbreaker but its my OCD talkin EDIT in fact unhook it as soon as you start messing with this

Here's my set up with Eddy 1412 carb, 7193 intake and Hershberger throttle bracket. No kick-down linkage as I have manual reverse valve body.

Hooking up the throttle cable with a manual trans is easy since you don't need all of the kickdown (throttle pressure) linkage. All you need is a simple throttle bracket and a throttle return. You can buy reproduction parts or aftermarket. Mancini should have everything you need. If you want aftermarket adjustable kits then take a look at my website.
