Dual Fording Cable

Unread post by Nick_ » March 21st, 2017, 7:47 pm

I see there appears to be 2 different style fording cables. One is a regular cable with a single outlet, and another has dual cables. What is the purpose of a dual cable?

Also what is the length? I have a CJ2A body, and would like to bring the cable to the left side dash.

No idea about a dual cable, the only cables on a 151 are the choke cable and the fording cable where equipped with a fording valve. Both are standard single cables.

The link you posted shows that cable for the M170, the longer wheel-base, ambulance version of the M38A1. Both the M38A1 and M170 use a dual fording cable. As to whether or not an M151 series Jeep uses the dual cable, I am not sure.
