Mmars, I am sorry to be rude, but I KNOW you're wrong.
Yu are tryng to tell me that Mustang owners need to modify their throttle cables when going from a 65mm TB to a 70mm TB?. I don't think so (I know so!) as that mod is supposed to be a plug in plug out. I think I smell BS! :rolleyes:
And if you don't believe me, read this:
http://www.corral.net/tech/powerplant/sohctb.htm Trust me if you
CLOCK the throttle shaft and cam through 180° (for fitment to a Contour), I assure you NO MOD TO THE THROTTLE CABLE IS REQUIRED, as the throttle cam will be in the EXACT SAME POSITION AS THE CONTOUR REQUIRES. I've done it.
I think you don't realise what "clocking" means. I am not talking about flipping the TB upside down to hae the throttle cam facing the firewall, but rotating the shaft to flip the throttle cam upside down.
Like I said before to someone else.
READ MY INSTRUCTIONS FOR FITTING A 65mm TB CAREFULLY , LOOK AT THE PICS and you will see that the Contour throttle cable can be used "as is".
