    Need help with carb cable replacement.
    In process of rebuilding 71 v6 and don't remember how cable is routed.
    Carb is 9 inches from firewall and new cable is 18 inches. Clevis on one end with ball attachment and threaded adjuster other end.

    This is a pic of my Rochester 2g carb on my ‘70 V6. Not sure if this is what you’re looking for though.

    A '71 should have the same linkage as the '70 shown above.

    V6 Jeepster used a cable.
    This diagram for that application might help.
    The parts diagram is not 100% accurate I might add.
    If this is what you are doing maybe it will help you.

    It may be similar to the set up used on my 70 C101 J/C, it uses the cable too.
    It appears to be the same as what Jim posted.

    Grant, you are not necessarily wrong. I believe that he may be talking a CJ as it is posted in the CJ 5 & 6 section.
    It just seems his description is similar to the Jeepster set up so we went off in that direction trying to help.
