:had a few bites, concerning my quandry, but no definite solutions.
:ive found NO ONE who can provide me with an intact throttle cable for a 72 V8 maverick. :i bought and installed one from a 72 LTD, and it aint even close. :craig selvey says i can use one from a 6 cylinder car, but id have to have a goofy looking loop in it, to work. :i really would like to do this the right way, the 1st time. :ive also been informed that a 73 or later cable will NOT work. :if anyone has the correct cable, or at least a ford part number for it, id be grateful. im also willing to pay. :the ONLY thing wrong with my beautiful maverick is it does not have a throttle cable. its getting frustrating! :OR... :maybe someone can tell me of a compatible car that would share the same cable. : :thanks again : :MT I think i've answered this but here goes:Take a late model 75up cable and use the Granada bracket at carb. use the late model pedal and remove pin out of floor bracket and install 72 floor bracket replace pin and your set to go with the cable for correct pedal with the slit and bead instead of the cast eye on the end of cable. auto zone can get the late cable.No body even lists the 72 cable.I just replaced mine a month ago and it took me an hour.I hooks right up to a holley carb.I know where there are at least 5 pedals and cables in awrecking yard here in NC. E-mail me if you cant find one. |
