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

This is the answer.

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!
