i just purchased a Lokar throttle cable and and
stock style brackets at the local speed shop here in
Michigan , ( Ramchargers), and it works great! was very
simple to install and cable was only $32 , bracket mount
$25. i thought that was a ripp myself for the bracket,
but the wagon needed it.But love the Lokar throttle
cable, am planning on using their other billet aluminum
products as well after seeing them at the store, they make
some nice looking products. mark

I really don't think that there is a stock cable
that will fit that well, but I was in a bind at one
time and had to make a quick cable for my Vega so I
used a SBC bracket, and just shortened a stock Camaro
throttle cable, but I had to be creative on how to hook it
up to the carb...I hope that helps
some....Later...Rich

Well, if you want a low budget fix then you can
do what I did.I want to say first this works for me
and you may not like the idea.I took a regular sbc
automatic throttle bracket and stuck my throttle cable thru
the bottom hole where the trans kickdown linkage
goes.See I dont use the kickdown on mine if you dont plan
on using yours you might try it.But as I said this
is low budget and works for me.Hope this might have
helped.
