You should also get a longer carb stud to connect the cable so it is more in line

That's the part. Can do it my way too, mentioned earlier.
Thanks for seeing what I saw. :)

This is the answer.

Ill give it go & report back. :) First I have to customize a tail pipe that I had custom built.. Sigh... :(

Move your morse cable holder on the bracket all the way to the back.
Screw you heim joint on as far it goes and if needed cut a 1/4 inch off the cable end.
I think both of these will get it real close

Zero Effort controls have adjustable stops at both ends of travel. SOME of the older ones have 2 cable attachment points, each w a different throw. I cant find a picture of one, though.

NautiB,

Did you end up getting a different throttle arm or making an extension to fix this? I am having the same issue now, with holley dry throttle bodies, throw on controls is only about half at wide open at throttle bodies. Like some have mentioned I too really would prefer to just have the correct throttle arm for the 3" throw. Just was curious what you found out, if I am going to sit on hold with holley just for them to show me the sniper extension arm posted above haha...


Thanks!
