Default Whats a good cable driven TB for the L92

Like the title says. I picked up a pair of L92's and am now looking at the L76 intake package. The 402's going in my 69 camaro and I don't want to hassle with the drive by wire. So what are my options? Looking to go cheap so if gm offers anything that I can later get ported/polished that would be good for now.

Thanks in advance.

Holley 90mm 112-576 comes with bracket for cable. These seem to be popular and easy to fit. About $450.






Some other options are MSD 90, FAST 90, Nick Williams 90.....with additional bracket at extra $

The PTM and Nick's seem to be about the same price. Is one better than the other or are we splitting hairs? I really don't have a clue but I like their price ranges.

Can't you just modify the stock L76 throttle body to be cable driven? I just had this discussion this morning. Should just be a shaft with a blade, same as any other. Yank the motor off the side and fab a normal cam onto the shaft.
