Does anyone have a schematic or image showing a typical throttle cable/linkage set up for an AMX/Javelin V8 with a 4 BBL?
I "think" I have all the parts and pieces and sorta kinda know where they go, but would like to make sure. Thanks.

You can have my Hurst shifter when you pry it from my cold dead hand.

I found this in my parts book. Hope it helps. All later models ('70 up???) used a cable throttle which is WAY easier to hook up.

Thanks bobsterfl.
Yeah, guess I should have noted the year of the car...I have a 72 and it has a cable. And, you are right--the cable set-up is a lot simpler. I found a couple of images of 360 engines online and it almost seemed too simple, which is why I was asking for a diagram.
The car came in pieces and the previous owner didn't mark anything. It came with a large plastic storage bin labeled "brackets, linkages, etc" (guess that narrows it down). I think I have everything except the return spring which I should probably replace anyway. |

You have to watch out for the cable brackets, Jeeps (some models) used a different bracket then the cars. The cable may not line up properly if you have the wrong bracket.
