Enhance Your Throttle Control with Mr. Gasket 5657 Steel Braided Throttle Cable Kit Review

This product is scrap. After only a few days the cable fell apart due to a carb connection and couldn't be reassembled so I had to hold the cable by the carb piece with pliers until I got home. I replaced it with an original Omix Ada auto part and it was easy to install. This part is assembled at the factory and not disassembled. This Herr seal part is made in China and poorly designed and I do not recommend buying it with Omix Ada part. They are available in different lengths and suitable for…

Looks like it was made to duplicate the original Chevy cable. Even the plastic parts on my 72 C20 are identical to the factory originals. It is exactly the same as my original on the pedal end and it fits my original carburetor side mount, but I bought another one anyway as I was doing the auto change guide at the same time and needed a kickdown mount. Cable. It just needed a little trimming and it fit like a native. As with any rope or braided wire tie, use a cutting wheel first. Don't try to…

Very tedious to install but what annoys me is that he was very specific about how much play to give and after following the instructions it was like the bend I tightened the cable to the throttle was too long for him. The square latch in the yoke for the throttle body bracket broke almost immediately, the outer stainless shell was worn down on both ends and in the middle, the set screw for the carburetor or end of the throttle body broke off immediately and everything felt crusty. I took it off

Requires the bracket that comes with the Specter for about the same price. Will not work with standard mounts as they are thick enough that you will need their custom mount. I'm a mechanic by trade and an engineering student, I've built many hot rods over the years and managed to break this thing two different ways by installing it. It s cheap. This could potentially work well depending on your application (if you bought a separate bracket, drilled a 3/8 hole in the firewall and didn't try to…

These kits are for carburetors, I used a Specter spring and retainer kit which was also designed for carburetors. I installed them on my 1988 Bronco 2 when the factory cable broke and I'm telling you, you won't find a right fix for him or his Ranger brother. Remove the round ball from the throttle body arm and use the bolt hole in the kit. The rest is self-explanatory on the picture. I was very lucky that it was so easy to modify to work with my application. Certainly better than mechanical…
