Looking for Offenhauser Throttle Cable Pics

I'm looking for pictures or information on how the factory throttle cable is connected from people who are running the Offenhauser intakes on their 300six.

I'm going to be using a Holley 1850s carb and it's all going in a1981 F100. I would like to use the factory cable if possible. I don't mind going aftermarket but if I do, I want to order all the right stuff the first time.

FWIW, factory cable wouldn't work for me. Not sure about 1981, but my 79 was going to be short.

Used a universal throttle cable, add on universal bracket with QF450. Fender washer and lock nut on end of gas pedal linkage.

If you plan on using original cable, start with which Offy intake you are using. DP requires transverse carb mount, C runs front to back.

I posted this over on my other thread. Should have posted it here too.

Good information. I think I would have run into the short cable issue if was using the DP. I have the C series.
