Throttle Cable

[LocuMob]

I need to replace my throttle cable in my 66 Polara, as mine has decide to break (the u shape bracket that attached to the throttle linkage on the carb). I can't remember where I got one 10 years ago. I'll hunt for one but if anyone knows offhand where to get one, let me know. Thanks!

That will work. Another cheeseburger?

Sounds good. I'll go yank it it a minnit or so. Think I kept your address someplace.

A word to the wise - don't lose the clip on the inside of the firewall....... I did so the cable will come w/o one.

Ok. I'm pretty sure I put my cable on with the engine removed, can't wait to play with them while removing and installing, can you say "tight"?

Got the cable from Mike. Right away I noticed it's alot shorter than what I took out. "Maybe I can use a different bracket in the intake." Got it installed in the firewall, after having the clip pop off and fall behind the carpet at least 6-7 times. My back felt it the next day. Looked in the engine bay and knew it wasn't going to work. Bummer. Ordered a new cable from Mancini and got it today. Put it in last night, got the clip on the first try.
