Throttle body install problem...

Got a trickflow plenum with a 75mm summit TB (were on backorder for TF) and the stupid cam on the throttle cable is driving me nuts! How in the hell do I get it back in?!

Fire...... solves every problem

Seriously tho, just remove some of the material and she should slide ride on in there... Its a common problem on most aftermarket TBs

I had to wallow (sp?) out the hole with a drill bit to get it to fit in there. No big deal just an extra step.

So, you had to "flounder about; move along or proceed clumsily or with difficulty" to get that cable in!?
