Throttle cable....

[Bertland]

I got a 85 Chev Shortbox with a ZZ4 350cid, What kind of cable do you use?, mine just make a loop and make the accelerator pedal hard as a rock...

Ill be the first to tell you. Buy your self a lokar cable and be good. I just installed one in my truck and makes the pedal feel way better. Nice and simple upgrade took like 30 minutes to do, the first one ive ever done too.

I looked and looked for a shorter one myself until the parts guy got sick of me, but nothing

Just wanted to add to this, that while the lokar i am sure works great, there is a good chance your current cable is just done for. And even if you go for the lokar, I figured it won't hurt to have my advice for anyone searching in the future.

I just went thru this on my suburban, and while a tbi is different from a carb, a throttle cable is a throttle cable. Mine is currently and was before looped around too. I took the cable off the throttle body and it seemed to move just fine, and I had check the throttle body itself and the pedal, and both seem good as well. So I figured, what the hell, and spent the money on a new one and voila... pedal feels just like my Blazer with the tbi does. In other words exactly like it should be and not hard.
