I'm using a Lokar cable for the TPI. Works perfect, but pricey. As far as water neck, I'm using the 360 degree adjustable unit from Street and Performance. You can then use the stock hose.

Badman-
Are you using the Lokar cables for both the gas pedal and TV cable? All I need is the gas pedal cable. thanks

I bought the TV cable for an 85 Vette and it fit perfectly. But the gas pedal cable off the same car was about 10" too long. So I ordered the camaro cable and we'll see.
