I converted my 350 tbi setup to a 1987 305 tpi setup.
I ordered a throttle cable for a 1992 camaro tpi350, not thinking, and now I see the end of my throttle cable and the connector on the throttle body are different. The cable has the lead barrel and the tb has a connector for the c-clip. Does anyone know if there is a conversion kit or adapter I could use, So i dont have to order another cable.
Thanks

 

Nope, get the right cable. The throttle body used the barrel connector on the later TPIs (89 and up I think?) and the clip on style for the earlier TPIs

 

Thats correct. The 85-88 cables were different than the 89-92 cables only in how they attach to the throttle arm. The only conversion I could think of would be to remove the throttle arm from the throttle shaft (have fun!) and press on an 85-88 throttle arm that you took off another throttle body. Its doable, but a hell of alot more work than the price of the right cable. They are fairly cheap.

 

thanks for the advice, im going to just order the right cable for the tb.
