Ian You have an I6, it has 6 cylinders in a row, the cab sits in the middle of the intake. That means it has 3 cylinders in front of it, and three behind. The V-8 has 4 cylinders per side, the carb sits in the middle of the intake, that is 2 cylinders in front of it, and two behind .So you would have at least the cyl bore and spacing difference from the 8 to the 6, that would dictate a shorter cable. Some of the I6s have longer cables then other I6s as the cable does not go to the carb, but a throttle linkage bracket. SO, once again, I have ( had) a new N.O.S. V-8 cable, and IT IS way SHORTER THEN THE I6. Andre " A.J." Jacobs, web page http://southtexasamc.tripod.com (830)-980-3165 , akjamc@xxxxxxxx Owner & Proprietor, South Texas AMC
