Nolejim, the bracket on the intake that guides the cable is soft steel and can easily be bent and/or repositioned to be in better alignment with the carb lever. This alone makes the motion easier. In addition, after 45 years any cable liner inside the assembly is long gone. It is possible to lube an OEM cable by removing it and adding motor oil, then draining until you get no drips. Replacement cables are a better grade of assembly than in 1970 & need no lube.
