What throttle cable to use with 5.3L truck intake?
Thanks,
Eric

 

I used a Lokar TC1000LSI on my 350 Ramjet. I know it isn't an LS motor, the cable is 36" braided, looks and works very good, that cable is supposed to work with LSX motors. might want to ask though and make sure.

 

you can use the NON TCS fbody cable.

it fits in the stock 3rdgen firewall hole, but is a bit loose. you can snug it up with some padding and have it look OEM.. or weld the hole smaller. or just leave it.. it wont effect performance, just wiggle a bit.

you will have to put a spacer on the cable where it connects to the pedal.. i used a zip tie.
OR
you can jsut bend the pedal bracket.


either method works.

 

how do I know which has tcs

 

TCS fbodies have a cable going from the pedal to a bellcrank mounted on an actuator... then a second cable from the actuator bellcrank to the throttle.

non traction control fbodies have a cable that goes from the pedal, to the throttle.. thats the one you want.
