MR. GASKET 1 www.mr-gasket.com
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.
