I want to mount my holley 390 oblong ( the way it is on Offy intakes).  I have a clifford ram.  So i test fit it and the Lokar cables are at a severe bend on top of the valve cover (i have trans cable to worry with also).  Anyone know of solution? tia

BB,
Thanks for posting on this wildly popular thread!  I had wanted to do a mixture experiment with carb on each way using the Innovate.  But obviosly, there isnt  any info on cables and my  o2 bungs are frozen.   Lets fix that rust hole before my POR putty petrifies.

How much is an extreme angle?  My Lokar cables make a 90* bend on about a 4" radius on my Chevy 292 with an Offy.  The only real option would be to run more cable and decrease the bend, or manufacture a cable to linkage system.

The 90* bend works fine, it is after it clears valve cover. It has to bend very low quickly after vc where it meets carb bracket. Im using Lokar also.  Shurely someone has pics.
