Need help setting up throttle.

Well, after 2 hours of aggravation, finally looking for some help.

What's wrong? Well, I can't link up my throttle, why? I have no damn clue.

Here is where I'm at, Here is where I'm stuck.
My accelerator cable isn't having any tension, so my gas pedal is just down.

That bracket goes under the back two bolts for a start. The outer cable is clamped under the claw piece and held down by that nut. I'll try and find a picture of the rest of the linkage for the kickdown.

Son of a.. I had figured I misplaced something. Please try and find the diags for it, I need to go buy new cotter pins now anyway, but I still want to try to hook it up as best I can for now

Yep, you've got that bracket in the wrong spot. Mine isn't quite the same as your setup but you can get an idea of how it should be...

Lovin' that setup, I fixed all the issues; Now I just need to link up my accelerator cable, (If I can find diags for it) Yours is being blocked so I can't really see where mine would go.

It does/doesn't at the same time. I adjusted my linkage and all (Auto trans), Still a tad bit baffled on the accelerator cable, but I'm sure I'll figure it out, I'm dead in the water anyway; I need to buy new cotter pins and some silicone sealer for my valve covers

it looks like you need the edelbrock carb throttle adapter for mopar this will help you get your gas peddle off the floor and give the right position for all hookups to work correctly kick down, throttle

Hey bud, that throttle spring setup looks kinda scary...also, don't waste your time on silicone gasket maker, it's crap. Get some Felpro cork jobs and torque 'em to spec. Just make sure the rails are clean and the tappet covers are true (straight). Welcome to the world of Mopar, nothing bolts up or works the first time, but it's a lot of fun and very rewarding.

X2 I agree you have to move that bracket back and bolt it under the back two bolts.

The modification you have there for the carb attachment will never work properly. IT will have too much travel and be impossible to adjust properly
