I rotated inlet of my intake manifold to the drive side to have more room when I run my turbo. I have everything hook up but having problems with hooking up the throttle cable. I can't uses the old mount or connector because it pulls the throttle in the wrong direction. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have honestly never heard of this. Can you rotate the throttle assembly upside down? Would that make it pull the correct direction?

I cant recall anyone flipping there intake around. I think the lincolns have the intake on the driver side from factory though
