Re: throttle cables, where to buy?
I just got an e-mail from my grandfather, he remembers it being a rudimentary cruise control. He remembers installing them on other cars for customers back then. He said they are quite dangerous.

Re: throttle cables, where to buy?
I just had the same issue and what I did was robbed a cable from an old buick,jeep cj's have a similar cable but some are longer.And you may have to slit the top of pedal rod because of different plastic insert on the cables but mine is working fine.Good luck

Re: throttle cables, where to buy?
The throttle was used on some trucks that had a winch driven by a shaft off the transfer case. Showing my age now.

Re: throttle cables, where to buy?
I used a cable from an early 70s Ford truck and a turn buckel so it's adjustable.
