    I am not clear on what you need.
    Do you need a throttle cable? (gas pedal to carb)
    Do you need a kick-down cable? (from the carb to the kick-down lever on the transmission)
    Do you need a shift cable? (shifter to shift linkage at the transmission)

    Thanks for that link! I like that set up. I shift manual but was considering putting the kickdown back on for better pressure in 3rd at WOT(I think that theory is right?). The factory rod hits my headers though. That cable will work perfect.(y)
