How did you guys hooked up the throttle cable? Also, what kind of timing should i set it to?

 

The old skool way was to use a bent alternator bracket, but they tend to flex. I actually used an old Holley throttle adaptor from Racing Beat, since I had one laying around and its very sturdy material, and cut it.

Basically you want somewhere around a 6 to 8" strip of metal, thick enough not to move when the throttle is actuated...drill one hole at one end for the 12mm bolt hole on the rear plate, I believe I used one of the holes for the trans vent cover....bend the strip so the top is about even with the throttle arm on the carb. To make sure the cable doesn't come off the arm, I drill the other hole about 1/2 inch lower....then from one side or top, notch with a hacksaw so the cable will slide in....tighten up the 12mm nuts on the cable...and presto. The picture is a bit small, but may help.

Timing: Stock porting or ported motor?

 

Stock port

 

gr8 picture. I just used a piece of angle iorn laying around drilled and cut as jaime said.

 

Per RB specs....

GSL-SE w/ stock port and Weber carb: stock timing
streetport: 6 degrees ATC, both leading and trailing.

SO....start with stock and then try the streetport specs....

 

that's setting it at idle with mech advanve still hooked up right?

 

THANKS JAIME! You are great help on IDA questions, i should just PM you next time.

 

These timing numbers are set "at idle with the vacuum advance disconnected"
