Throttle Cable Question

I'm swapping from TPI to carb, reading through the swap articles I notice that the subject of modifying the throttle cables is somewhat glossed over. I'm going foraging at the junkyard this weekend in hopes that I can steal a throttle cable/pedal and bracket off a carbed car. If I can't what are my options? What have you guys had success with?

Re: Throttle Cable Question

TBI cable should also be about the same.

Lokar is another option.

Or, ask members if they have a factory carb throttle cable laying around (hint, hint).

Re: Throttle Cable Question

Lokar is an aftermarket brand. Product isn't bad, though a GM part would be alot less work.

Two, actually. One has one of the tabs for the bracket broken off, but it's functional. The other one doesn't have any problems that I can see.
