Replacement throttle cable found

[blacktyaffair]

I stole the throttle cable from my 1991 l98 corvette because my throttle cable on my ty snapped. It works perfect only after I re-bent the throttle pedal about 1/2 inch to achieve full throttle. I will post pictures as soon as I get my ty back together and verify the cable will work. Here is a link to a new throttle cable if gm does not have it for the 'vette. Check back for pics and verdict on test drive!

The throttle cable worked perfect. This should be a nice alternative for the lokar cable.

Re: Replacement throttle cable found

Thanks for the info pancakes. When I did the search I only came across the lokar as being the solution. I had the option of trying my 'vettes throttle cable, poor thing now I have to put it back together, and it worked out okay.
I had to bend the pedal away from the firewall. I took the pedal assembly out to bent it on my fence post so I didn't risk any damage to the pivot since it's made of plastic. If a bench vise is available, I'd use that.
Maybe someone with a syty would want a GM made cable for a some what original option, I doubt it. Sytyers have no problem modifying such rare vehicles and I like it!

VPI has the cable so a good parts guy can still get them

Unfortunately, Good parts guys are in short supply these days. I was just glad to be able to get my ty going that same day.
