The cable in the top picture is the choke cable. A better place for the outer cable is in the tab on the carb body just to the right. You have to drill a hole through it for the inner cable and carefully drill a hole part way through for the end of the outer cable. The screw on the throttle mechanism that creates fast idle is poorly adjusted.

There is an id tag held on with the screw nearest the vacuum port. It will probably be an FZX number or similar post it here or google it if you don't find any information call Joe Curto at the number i posted previously he will tell you what car it belongs to if it is not from yours and that will be a start.

Yes, I can see the rod in place. My thought was that for an auto with hif they may have omitted that piece.
But Mal may be correct in that auto's perhaps didn't have hif carbs. my 89 Jap MINI was auto, it had an HS4

It may be just my limited vision, but is the that cable wearing on the carb body? There seems to be a lot of metal bits on the carb and the cable has looks like it's bending around the carb body. If so, that's not a good thing.

To me it looks like someone has used a HS4 throttle arm on a HIF and afaik i have never seen a HIF on an automatic so i am thinking someone switched the carb and used the old wrong arm and abutment bracket both of them probably from a HS4.

The throttle quadrant in your other picture is a progressive type. When beginning to open the throttle the lever distance is longer, providing finer control of the throttle for given pedal input. You get better control during light throttle application.
Be advised there are different types of progressive quadrants - I have two types. When I bought a new HIF44, it came with the wrong one, which pulled from the wrong direction. I had to use the one from an older HIF44.

Thanks guys, my throttle cable was sticking and frayed so i removed it. It seemed to be pulling at an odd/steep angle so i was wondering if i was missing anything

You should have some kind of throttle quadrant on the carb ( i have never seen a HIF carb without one) but to find just that piece new may be hard. You may need to remove the straight arm that is currently fitted if it is not correct as there will not be enough room to bolt both pieces onto the throttle shaft.

I expect someone with auto transmission experience will chime in shortly. I'm suggesting areas you can fill in information for a fuller diagnosis.
it is hard to tell exactly what carb that is from that angle. I can see a choke cable apparently connected properly, and both a rod and cable connected to a throttle actuating arm. As I have never seen an auto setup, I can only guess either the rod or the cable are connected to the transmission shifter system. I don't see in that picture a throttle cable in the conventional (manual transmission) location up beside the choke cable.
Question: can you determine if the accelerator pedal is currently connected to the carb, and does it actuate the throttle properly? If so, is it using the cable or rod?
