Installation Notes

Verify cable length and end style before installation. This CA-8468 cable uses a bullet end on one side and an eyelet on the other, so routing and attachment points should match the original setup. Confirm the vehicle’s carburetor linkage and bracket locations against the existing cable before final assembly.

For search reference, this part cross-references Continental 61431 and FEL-PRO 61426 for the same application.
