cbolt Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Does anyone happen to know the length of the cable for the small block 4bbl? Last time I ordered one it was waaaaay too long so I had to make it work. Since it seems I need to change from the ball type end to the pin type end I want to maybe change to a supercoolhightechperformancepolishedfancy type and want to make sure I get the correct length. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, it might ruin your excuse to get the fancy cable, but these are as close as your local hardware store. Maybe it's easier to change the thing on your carb linkage instead of dealing with a whole new cable setup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbolt Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Ahhh... you saw through my thinly veiled excuse to get the new cable. Hardware store, huh? I have never seen anything like that at a hardware store but have admittedly never looked. I will try that in the morning, thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallaby Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Yep. It's called a ball stud. I think even Home Depot has them in the hardware isle, but they hide them in the shallow drawers where they stock stuff like O-rings and nylon washers.

cbolt Posted September 13, 2011 Author Share Posted September 13, 2011 Well, since I have just come from Lowe's, Home Depot, Ace hardware, and NAPA and none of them have a ball stud it looks like a new cable after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
