Which OE TV cable for TPI/TH350 combo?

Converting my '79 Camaro to TPI with the current TH350 (till I can afford the 2004R) and I need to know which TV cable to use. The TPI setup is from an '86 Camaro.

Thanks guys!

I don't know about OE but someone used Lokar.

Yeah, the Lokar ones are nice but a little too flashy for me, plus I'm trying to keep this somewhat on the cheap. Under that link to the B&M piece someone mentioned TCI, I'll check them out, but I'd really like an OE unit if possible.

I know what you mean; I'm not chrome and braided if I can avoid it.

Re: Which OE TV cable for TPI/TH350 combo?

Okay, I found the answer to both my questions...

A universal kickdown cable that works well for this application is Fitzall # K35955u (There's also K35955 & K35955B) which can be found for around $20-$25 shipped and looks absolutely stock!

As for a throttle cable, apparently a throttle cable from a late 80's S10 Blazer works perfectly and also looks absolutely stock as well! This part can also be had from RockAuto.com for about the same price shipped.

Well I hope this info helps you guys as much as it's helped me!
