Default Could have been bad

This is what happens when you buy someone elses half ass project car.

The throttle cable was mounted to high in the the firewall.....The steel line acted like a saw blade cutting into the aluminum mount due to the line being pulled down instead of straight back.......

The upside is the motor is stronger than i thought. I was only getting 1/2 to 2/3 throttle due to the messed up cable.
