Another option, you do not need to have that carb in that position either.
You can mount it like a normal V-8 install.
The adaptor plate can be modified so the carb can sit in any position.
That way you do not have to make a 90 degree tube bend where the cable will eventually wear through the tube & cause the throttle to get stuck, bad design IMO.

Yes but... How many miles will that take?
Anyway... I also greased up the inside of the tube to make the 90. And I used the hard tube, not the soft one.
