Throttle cable on big blocks 383/440 Beleveder

[Auggie56]

Does anyone know the measurement? I have been told it's 21.5". Would the above engines use the same cable? I found a 66' 383 but the ad doesn't say it fits 67' or a 440.

Many thanks

66-67 383 or 440 should use the same cable. Maybe if you use a real tall intake on a 440 it may get tight.

Rb engines are a bit taller than B engines. It may matter.

I swapped a 383 with a 440 in a 69' Coronet and had no throttle linkage problems. I just find it funny the supplier didn't list a 440, and neither did anyone else. They were the only ones with this 383 cable.

Thanks for your input.

Auggie, I had a chance to dig out my 1967 MOPAR factory parts manual. In 1967, the part numbers for the 383 and 440 engines in all B bodies are the same. The hemi is different. (An interesting bit of trivia, the 318s with Cruise control use the same part number cable as the hemi....)

Thanks for your input.

Greetings: If you need a throtle cable for a big block contact IMPERIAL SERVICES. I obtained one for my 67 Coronet R/T from them a while ago.
