Hahahahahhahaha, thats priceless dude. My only advice would be to hit a junkyard, easiest Place I would assume, and cheapest. I don't remember if DOHC or SOHC throttle cables fit better, I'm sure someone will chime in on that.

SOHC cable will fit better. Hit up a junkyard.

I got a spare dohc one you can have for $30 shipped.

sohc fits perfect, dohc needs to make a bracket. I run a dohc one, but the engine I just installed in my friend's car used an sohc cable and it fit w/o modification.

thanks guys. nice cuz my friend is gunna swap out his sohc and ill take his thanks

[slownslurious]

the bracket is just a flat piece of steel with a few holes drilled in it.

[NeedCAforS13]

I know... I made one for my car, just pointing out the sohc cable requires zero effort.

I'm trying to stretch a DOHC cable now and it's a pain. I'll probably do the bracket, but if I just swapped cables, how accessible is the area under the dash where it links up with the accelerator pedal?

[slownslurious]

not too bad, takes about 15 mins.

[float_6969]

It's not bad to get at. It's only 2 bolts.

[oneruffryder42]

that right. only 2 bolts. took me like 30 min to walk to hoimes house take his off and walk back home and put mine on. very easy to do. thanks
