Gremlin/Hornet V8 cables.... Thanks for the replies
guys. I DID NOT know that 70-71 Hornet/Gremlin
throttle cables attached to the pedal different. Can
anyone say why the cable would be made that long for a
v8?? I'm sure that you long time AMC mechanics think
that  i ask DUMB questions. But when you do not know,
i figure it's best to ask!! Thanks..no hard feelings
