Was going to build my own & thought before I do, maybe what I want is already made ?
First, the cable. Too short. I measured from the oval bracket that bolts to the fire wall to the bracket that would bolt to the throttle bracket. 9"
I measured a cable from a 72 Pinto (my parts car) & it looks like mine was swapped out, as it measures 19 & 3/4" (black plastic part + crimps).
I need one that is about 12"- 14" .
Next is the metal bracket the cable bolts to.
Pictures tell....

I do not have a problem making what I need for the intake bracket.....just thought why make one when one is likely made ?
Id almost bet a v8 mustang or 87-88 thunderbird that had a v8 throttle linkage would work for you. I knoe for sure the thunderbird ones will bolt right in too cause I have a t-bird 2.3 one in my bobcat.
Found one.
