Ah, where's your sense of adventure!

NEver thought about broken mount = stuck throttle.

I wanted to keep the light pedal, which doesn't seem possible with the 
cable throttles. No matter what I did I couldn't get the Hornet that loose.

THere was no easy answer though, because of the dual needs of TBI and 
transmission. Two totally different motions required.

The Howell target vehicles all have cable throttles and torqueflite 
style kickdowns.

Hmm, I suppose that's possible. This one wasn't warped, and it did grow 
wider, not shrink! By a good bit too. The holes in the ears on the early 
manifolds is about 3/8"; on the new ones it's about or over 1/2".
