Mechanical throttle linkage has had a lot of press lately so I thought I too should chime in and sing it praises. Ive been tweaking my car for 4 some odd years and 30,000 miles and it is almost there. But of all the things I did the switch from the cable to mechanical throttle linkage was by far the very best. I not only works superior to the cable but it unleashed a whole lot of lost/hidden potential from the engine. It is clear that the cable was not allowing full throttle and not nearly as linear and smooth. I assembled the parts as per a shopping list from a previous post but the set up that Mike Forte sells is a dead ringer for it. And yes it can be installed on a completed car that does not have a removable drivers foot box cover. It works perfectly with Russ Thompson's accelerator pedal. There was some contorting involved but well worth it. Totally changed the driving experience of the car. So if your on the fence, hop off now while the snow is still deep, or the weather is in the upper 70s or lower 80s like it is hear in California. Well worth it.
