throttle cable
Hi group, I'll be replacing the throttle cable on my 71 small block with a 4 speed. Any comments or suggestions that will help are appreciated.

Hi b,
Of the 3 cables that come through the firewall (tach, speedo, and accelerator), I think the accelerator cable is the easest to replace.
A little hard to get to under the dash, but right in front of you in the engine compartment.
Regards,
Alan

Are you asking if it is a hard job, or what custom cables people have used?
