The top two cables are the throttle (connected to the accelator peddle) and cruise control. The bottom is the TV cable.

There is a kit that gets the geometry right for the TV cable. I don't recall off the top of my head where to find it, but trying www.summitracing.com is a good place to start.

Attaching the cables to the throttle arm can be accomplished with studs, which I know are available from Holley and Summit. Brackets to hold the cable housings, same.

yah i dont have the cruise control hooked up on mine right now......im assuming you have a street avenger 670.....holley makes a bracket that sets the throttle cable and tv cable in line and hooks right up to the carb.....i set my TV cable the usual way, by racheting it all the way in then going WOT, allowing it to rachet out as far as it needs.....i haven't had any problems so far.....

good luck!

you press in the little D shaped piece and push the racheting part all the way in (towards the bracket).....then you let off of the D shaped button and then pull the carb to WOT....this should make it rachet out as far as it needs to go......this
site explains it in more detail.....

sorry sorry sorry, but Im dumb and still dont get it.....

Heres what im getting out of it:

1) you hold the D button, and move that little slider all the way to the braket?

2) you let go of the d button and your done?

sorry, but its just all weird to me.....if thers a like a "tv cable for dummies" book, let me know....lol...

once the slider is all the way in you pull the throttle to WOT and it should rachet out the slider to the correct position.....
