TV cable bracket p/n

<< < (2/2)

Mudsport96:
Well I got the LG4 305 bracket installed today.

And ran into the following things.
1. The Kickdown cable for the th350 now fits without the adapter I had made up for the old throttle/detent bracket... odd but cool.
2. The throttle cable is now 2 inches short of reaching the pin on the carb throttle arm. It was 1 inch short before, probably the difference between a inline 6 and the v8.

So now I'm looking into throttle cables. I may try one from the same style F body that the bracket came from as it stands to reason it would have the proper bracket to carb dimension that I need.

The 76 250 cable is 20 inches with a mounting length of 11 inches

The 76 v8 cable is 21 inches with a 12 inch mounting length that would have fixed my original problem.

The correct cable for the bracket I now have ( 1985LG4 Firebird/Camaro) is 22 inches which SHOULD give me the 2 inches I need....but the mounting length is 11.93 inches. Which is only .93 inches longer than the cable i have now.
Anyone know what they are referring to with mounted length?

The bracket, Trans & TV cable we all plucked from a 86 Monte SS on my set-up.

I did have to switch throttle cables. My original cable had the rubber grommet mount and the ball stud type attachment. My car is a 73 chevelle. I got a later model type cable with the squeeze tab type mount from a 76 chevelle, worked out good.

If I were to guess I would try a V8 cable for your year car if it was originally inline 6.

Mudsport96:
I had thought about that. But the original bracket the cable was one inch short so I had an extension.
The factory v8 cable is 1 inch longer. So that would have worked. But now it is 2 inches shy with the third gen f body bracket.
The cables are only 25 bucks. Maybe I'll order both the 76 v8 cable and the 84 f body cable and see which is better. Hate to do it that way though.
Thanks for the info.

Well, on further investigation,  the same year Camaro as my Nova (76) uses a 22 inch throttle cable. The same one by part number as the Camaro/Firebird that the throttle bracket came from. Interesting.  Looks like I found the part I need.

I will update when I know more. Thanks for the help.

Mudsport96:
Okay so I think this will be the final update for now, as I don't have the 700 ready to install. But, the bracket I found that fits the throttle cable perfectly is one for a 1985 K5/Jimmy with the v8 and 700r4 combo.
I am going to leave it for now since the th350 doesn't "need" the kickdown hooked up for upshifts to be correct. And even when it was, I still manually shift it when im running through the gears since I haven't recalibrate the governor for the new gearset. It will wot upshift 2500rpm early.
