Throttle cable set up with a 4bbl
just wondering what you guys did with the throttle cable that are running a 4bbl? i dont think i can use the stock cable since the throttle pull is backwards. oh also which way should i mount my 4160 holley on the manifold? hehe

Lokar cables, check my galleries (end of the 1st gallery).
Assuming you are running an Offenhauser DP manifold, the primaries (tall stack, with linkage next to firewall) go next to the head.

I also used the LoKar cable and cable bracket. I drilled the hole on the carb. linkage slightly larger and put the clevis end to the linkage. The clamp end hooked in the peddle just fine.

My carb sits on the intake sideways. I have the offy dual port. I bought a throttle ball kit, and used my stock throttle cable, but I had to fabricated a bracket that attaches to 2 of the manifold studs to holde the cable..
I used a Lokar cable for my tranny kickdown.

Their longest model. But since you can mount your carb any way you want to with the C-series manifold, you might be able to use a shorter one...

holley carb
I have a offy 4 bbl and a 390 cfm holley, I talked to a guy at offy and he said to mount the carb with the linkage on the side next to the valve cover. I then used lokar cables fot the carb and tranny kick down and 8000 miles later it works just fine. look at my galllery to see,

Bottom line, On a DP manifold, mount the primaries next to the head.

I posted this up on Fordsix.com/forum as well.
But I need to know where you got the cable from? Looks like Lokar is the place, but whats the longest? Or do I need something in the middle?
Offy DP Intake Manifold
Holley 410 cfm carb
2"spacer
Hedman Header
Lokar Automatic Kick Down
Flowmaster Y-Pipe
Flowmaster 40series Delta Flow.
3" the whole way.
