- Inconsistent pedal feel on carbureted Jeep applications
Installation Notes
Verify cable length, end style, and routing before installation. The CA-8512 is listed with a 21.75-inch length and bullet/socket ends, while several Jeep fitments note a 23.5-inch application length and specific carburetor configurations such as dual throat carburetors or LH drive with color-coded green routing. Match the vehicle’s original cable path and linkage points to confirm proper fitment on Jeep CJ5, CJ7, or Scrambler models.
