I believe he was talking about a throttle cable and not the clutch cable.
Its better to be a has-been, than a never was.

Both of those are too short.

My clutch cable is a stock one for a '74+ Pinto.

Just today I wrapped-up installing a similar '65-66 Mustang radiator in my '72 and yeah, didn't fit without a lot of work. If the engine was 2" further back (rubbing the firewall), it actually would have bolted in.


I was asking for a throttle cable I have a clutch cable already. thanks. has any one tried using a Honda radiator? they are really small and some Hondas have huge turbos and are built to runs low tens. will this cool down a 2.3??

Fox body throttle cable works fine. As for a Honda radiator you be the test subject! Let us know how it works!
