Default Where do get a ls1 throttle cable??

on my c4 vette ls6 swap, i dont have the f-body throttle cable, my factory one is about 4 inches to short.

I ordered the Lokar throttle cable and its to short as well. Where can i get a longer throttle cable than 36" ?? or is the f-body one longer than that.

Shoot me if i'm wrong, but if you are using the C5 Throttle assembly, it uses Throttle By wire, not by cable. So that will be an issue. As far as how to fix that, I couldn't tell ya. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Good luck!

My stock LS1 F-body cable is pretty long. This is in my 72 Camaro. Hooks up to the stock pedal pretty well.

Any GM dealer part no. GM12565559 I think around $15 Mine on my 79 elcamino is really a few inches too long. Hope this helps. Rodney

I called Lokar and they sent me a 42" cable. I think it was the same price as the regular one.
