Re: Hornet / Gremlin V8 throttle cable Dimensions

[Teamamc <teamamc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

hey Joe Gray,
I don't like the fact you automatically assume I took you.
Your ignorance to the fact that a 1971 Hornet uses a different gas pedal
mounting than 1972 and later.
is the cause of the problem.
I told you the cable was from a1971 V8 Hornet.

I even asked if you wanted the gas pedal with it.
I apoligize for assuming you knew there was a difference.
Do Not spout off until we have a chance to fix things.
I have 5 of these cables with the correct late model plastic end you
apparently need.
We just have to figure out what length you want.

Joe Roberts.
 You have a couple of 71 V8 Hornets. How long are the cables.

Also If you are going to bring up this $25.00 air mail charge.
The sway bar with cable and shipping was $103.94
Cam was $80.00 plus $25.00air = $105.00
I can send the $1.06 Difference if you wish.

Sorry for responding on list.
Everything else will be off list
Bryan
