This accelerator cable links the accelerator pedal linkage to the carburetor throttle lever on compatible 1970 Mercury Cougar applications equipped with a 390 or 428 FE V8. When the accelerator pedal is pressed, the cable transfers that movement to the throttle lever so the engine can respond smoothly to driver input.
A worn, stretched, damaged, binding, incorrect, or missing accelerator cable can cause poor pedal feel, delayed throttle response, or unreliable throttle operation. Replacing it with this 23-1/2 in. direct-fit cable helps restore proper movement between the accelerator linkage and carburetor on compatible FE V8 applications.
