This accelerator cable links the accelerator pedal linkage to the carburetor throttle lever. When the 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 24 in. direct-fit cable helps restore proper movement between the accelerator linkage and carburetor on compatible 302 and 351W V8 applications.
Restore throttle linkage function on your 1972-1973 Mustang 302 or 351W V8 with this 24 in. accelerator cable for cars built after 07/10/1972.
