Default Re: Lift stop cable unit

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: njsteve</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> The recall was due to the fact that the driver's side motor mount could break under certain &quot;abusive&quot; conditions, causing the engine to lift on the driver's side, thereby causing the mechanical throttle to be pulled to full WOT condition without the ability to release itself, since it was now at full throttle, causing more of a high-horsepower, torque-over condition, pinning the carb at WOT till the engine blew up, the car crashed, or the driver was intelligent enough to turn the ignition key off, diffusing the impending explosion. </div></div>

I was intelligent enough to shove my foot under the gas pedal and unstick the WOT! (High school, 1979, driving my buddy's stock L35/M40 '67 SS396 Camaro. That's how we learned the engine mounts were broken.)
