Title: accelerator cable conversion
Post by: NES304 on December 01, 2006, 11:43:52 AM
I have a 138 + Stromberg and saw a cable type accelerator cable for the stock motor offered by rares
(KHC003) Any know much about using this instead of the connecting rods? is it reliable?

I don't know about the Rares conversion, but you could probably save yourself a heap of dough by DIY. There was a thread on the FB/EK forum to do a L300 cable conversion and it uses the original pedal.

Ive got to fix the accelerator linkage cos it has a hard spot you have to push past causing the wagon to jump forward if youre not careful. Ive got a 350 Holley on the 202 red motor with the original linkage.
does anyone have details and pictures of the L300 cable set up I can show to a mechanic who can set it up for me ( at $70/hr it needs to be quick and simple)

I did mine myself with the one from Rares and it cost me 4 beers for labour (had to pay myelf and was short on cash) Gee I'm cheap. It was easy, came with instructions and is reliable.

Rares might be the best bet, I am not sure about WA but it seems L300 cables are in short supply over here in SA  :'(

I had a look on the rares website but only saw the later holden ones, do they do a universal cable ?

Later? can't get much earlier than mine and it works. It is universal type which has mounting brackets to suit different types of carbs. I guess it would suit a holley as they are not exactly uncommon.

Not sure if you have this sorted but there is a mob in Myaree (cant recall the name) that I used for a couple of custom cables in my car.  Happy to dig out the detail if still needed.
