Throttle cable

[454c20]

Hey guys. Im finishing up the reassembly of an 87 R10 pickup I got. The original motor was a 305 TBI motor which died and was missing before I got it. I'm installing a 355 and a 4 barrel carb setup. The issue I'm having is that the throttle cable is too long and I have to put a loop in it, causing it to bind.

I was wondering if anyone had a lead or a PN for me to pickup a throttle cable out of a 86-down V8 carb'd pickup. Or if anyone has one laying around. I dont feel like spending $50 on a lokar.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

How long is that cable from the firewall to carb? Right now, I have a big loop and obviously dont wanna order another one like I already have.

Thanks, hopefully that PN will work for me.

Nick, the new cable has a small loop from the firewall to the carb, threw away the old cable i'll see if I can get a pic for you

This is the new cable and as you can see it has loop around the cruise control Servo, there is no binding and with the new cable it's a lot smoother when you push on the pedal, the old cable was harder.
