All LH had cable throttle. They were the first, then the HJ introduced the cable later that year. Dr Terry Edited by user Friday, 6 December 2024 3:04:10 PM(UTC)

That’s how you pick LH V8 (and HJ) intakes from HQ ones. The have an extra threaded hole for the cable throttle spring return bracket. |

1990 when I bought my L34 Torana and I thought it was the cable being the reason why I could not put the Holley on my HX sandman 5.0L. I went to try and put the Holly on my HX but could not do it for some reason. So I thought it may of been the Cable setup as to why. Edited by user Saturday, 7 December 2024 11:19:45 AM(UTC)

Cable throttle would probably have been easier with a Holley than a HQ linkage. Getting the right throttle movement was the hardest bit. I always had trouble with converted 6cyl cars, people always seemed to use the 6cyl pedal arrangement, not change it to be as per a V8 car. |
