Last weekend I broke my year old throttle cable (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) I decided to order a Terry Cable (best out there?) from PParts.

The cable came in on Thursday (very good shipping time from CA to VA). I installed the cable today..too longer then I thought it would. It was a pain to remove the A/C console, pedal board, and snake the cable in while the car wa on all 4's. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif)

After adusting the cable so I had full open and the pedal stop so I would stretch the cable. I figured I was done. As I was depressing the pedal by hand SNAP (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/dry.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

WTF

After getting back in there I discovered the cable pulled out of the threaded piece that connects to the pedal linkage. WTF (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/ohmy.gif)

So I have contacted PParts to see what they will do?? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif)

I thought the $40 cable would hold up better then this..

I just went through this on our 1974 and had several OEM cables come apart at the swaged ends, two even before we got them fully installed. We finally used the Weltmeister (sp?) one and had no further trouble. The resistance should be the same through out the full motion of the pedal and if not something is wrong. I'd say check the carb linkage w/o a cable, the pedal feel w/o the cable and finally the cable itsself befor eit is hooked up (this takes two people to pull it back and forth).
