INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

Step 1

Remove the inner cable from the outside braided cable

housing.

Step 2

Install the Mr. Gasket bracket (P/N 6038 for a standard

transmission or P/N 6039 for

an automatic transmission), on your intake.

Step 3

Locate the original cable in the firewall or if needed drill

a 3/8” hole in the firewall, which should line up with the

gas pedal arm.

Step 4

Measure distance between the firewall hole and the Mr.

Gasket mounting bracket. Add 2” inches to this mea-

surement and mark the outside braided cable housing to

be trimmed. Slide the chrome sleeve towards the thread

side away from the cutting area. Wrap the area to be cut

with electrical tape and cut braided cable housing with a

fine tooth hacksaw.

NOTE: Do not cut the inner cable

with hacksaw while doing this.

Step 5

Slide chrome sleeve back to the area you cut and place

over the end of cut cable. This will allow you to place

cable into small black plastic bracket adapter. Then

you can install the threaded end of cable into the firewall

using the flat washers on each side and tighten nut into

place.

Step 6

Insert cable through the desired pedal arm bracket you

need. (Plastic black end cap bracket for OEM pedals

or aluminum clevis bracket for aftermarket pedals) and

then insert cable all the way through the braided cable

housing attached to firewall.

Step 7

Install threaded stud onto the carburetor bracket. Then

pull the cable through all the way up to the threaded

stud. Using sharp side cutters, cut the cable about 1”

back from the threaded stud on carburetor (See Photo).

Step 8

Insert the cable you just cut into the adjustable end

piece as far as possible and then lock it down with the

setscrew using the Allen wrench. Then place the hole in

the end piece over the stud and secure with cotter pin.

Now adjust the tension of the cable using the adjustment

& jam nut. Be sure to check and adjust your desired idle

RPMs before driving the vehicle.
