throttle cable location? ('59 235)

[Joeys Toy]

Lets see if I can make this clear as mud. Would take a picture but my 56 is sitting in a pasture about 200 miles away.

The throttle cable will go down through the bracket. The cotter pin will need to be removed from the accelarator linkage and the throttle wire will run through the hole. You will need to go to the auto parts store and get a cable or wire clamp from the "HELP" section. the ones I have seen look like small brass tubes with a screw threaded into one end. There will be a hole in the middle of the tube to run the wire through then tighten the screw against the wire. Put the clamp on the wire below the acc. pedal linkage. When you work the pedal the linkage will slide up and down the throttle cable wire. When you pull the throttle cale out, it will pull the accelerator pedal down. If this doesn't help, I will try to get the engine back in my 53 GMC this week and will take pictures. Uses a different carb but same hook up.
