Reply to "Pantera's and Carburetor Geometry"

Here is a side view of my engine before I installed it. The red lines show the original placement of the throttle cable mount (shown as the upside down "T" on the left) and the red line going to the carb linkage being the angle of attack. What you can see from the angle on the red line is that no matter how hard I pull on the linkage, there is no way I can ever pull the linkage in a clockwise motion past 6 on a clock. You simply can't pull the linkage uphill when your cable mounting point is so far below. The green line shows the new mounting point for the throttle cable which is now ABOVE the original mounting point by about 2". The green line going to the carb linkage shows that when you pull on the cable, the throttle linkage can now easily be pulled past 6 on a clock and obtain full throttle. The throttle response is DRAMATICALLY changed at this point as well, making the response MUCH quicker.
