Engine Fire, Need parts. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I was changing the Carb on my 72 and when I went to start it up all I got was was a huge engine fire... Luckily I had a bucket of water nearby and was able to put it out before the entire Truck went up in smoke. The only damage was to the wire that goes to the temp sending unit, some vacuum hoses, and the throtle cable. Where can I get a new throtle cable? I called all of the local part houses and had no luck. Maybe some vendors carry them. Thanks

You're in luck, I've got a throttle cable on my parts truck, I'll pull it off and ship it to you on Monday morning. Just need your address
