    I am having issues with finding a throttle cable to work with my set up. I have a 72 GS that was a 350, now converted to a 455. When i was running the HP series Holley, the cable seemed fine, now have a different set up using a 1050 Dominator. Now the cable isn't long enough. What are you guys using?

    I'm gonna see if i can trim the sleeve for the stock cable, it seems that my pedal travel is hitting that and not allowing the cable to be all it can be. I also drilled a hole through a bolt and sliced it to substitute the plastic piece that goes into the pedal. I can get a little more adjustment that way, and it wont break like the plastic piece. If that don't work, i'll get the JEGS piece
    Thanks

    Mike, shop around. Lots of choices for that bracket. I found this one on Amazon.

    If you look carefully, it comes with an attachment for the stock cable (square opening), as well as aftermarket (Lokar) cables.

    How about using stock longer throttle cable may be from a full size Buick, I know I have a few around.

    I used a lokar. Believe it was the shortest one they offered, 24".
