Re: (throttle cables...used to be ) RE: Still a few issues but running

[Schuyler Wrobel <sky62@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Butch, go to  <http://www.autozone.com>

and look up the- 'Spectre / Universal Braided Stainless Throttle  
Cable Kit'.

that's the one I used and it seems to work fine. there's a rubber  
bushing that the aluminum
ferrule and lock nut fits through, the aluminum part that fits  
through the fire wall into the car is a
little more bulbous then the stock set-up. but it fits, and is  
adjustable, so I was able to get it set up so
the gas pedal linkage has the same amount of travel. it comes with  
washers to help
clamp it all to the firewall. Maybe not the best solution? but I  
thought it was pretty good deal, and at
$30.00. so far so good. the only other thing is you need to cut the  
housing and cable to length.
which was cool with me, since I needed a little bit more, with the  
new intake and carb anyway.
amazing how much easier the gas peddle works now, with a new slippery  
smooth cable.(o:
