So I decided to replace my carb on my Auto 89 DX, and happen to have a spare Auto 88 DX 3G sitting in the driveway. Now my issue is that after I got the carb off the 89, and started pulling the carb off the 88, I discovered that the carb is not the same. The transmissions gear selector cable on the 89 runs from the tranny, and attaches to the carb, where the cable end is on the same arm as the throttle assy.
Now here's where the problems start. I went to take the carb off the 88, and the selector cable runs straight off the tranny, and attaches with a Y, to the throttle cable just before firewall. So needless to say, I could use a few suggestions on what to do now.
I was thinking about pulling all the cables out of the 89, and replacing them with the ones from the 88. I suppose that's possible, but it'll be much more work then I expected, and I would like to avoid it if at all possible.
Please make any suggestions you might think would work. (Just don't suggest a 5 spd swap. I don't have the time, or all the parts I need to do that just yet. For now it'll stay an auto.)
