The stock GM throttle cable. Sold by all of the Corvette parts vendors. Paragon sells it under part number 2330, which is the same cable as used on all 1968 - 1973 small block cars.

Since you plan to replace your throttle cable, I'm thinking you've already considered the stock one. I replaced mine with a Lokar. It's easier to adjust for full throttle with any carb. This......https://www.summitracing.com/parts/lok-tc-1000u

I actually just got done replacing mine with the Mr. Gasket 5657 kit. It was actually very easy and I already had an end adapter that worked well with my Holley Sniper system.

If everything is stock then go with a OE cable from Paragon or similar vendor as another poster said. If you have a non OE carb and non OE intake and have an automatic and need kickdown cables etc I suggest picking up a Lokars cables with the appropriate bracket.

My car is far from stock so I went with the Mr. Gasket one. It fit nicely.
