CFI vs. TPI Accelerator cable
I have converted my 89 to a carb for various reasons. Most of the wiring was hacked up, and it's a track only car, so I went for simplicity. I am working on hooking up the accelerator cable. I had purchased a cable for an 84-85 CFI engine since it had the "carb" style attachment.
I removed the old cable and was about to install the new one when I noticed that the 84-85 cable doesn't have a plastic cup that fits into the accelerator pedal like the 89. Is the 84-85 missing the plastic cup or is the 84-85 accelerator pedal different? If the pedal is different for cable attachment, does it bolt to the firewall the same. Regardless, I will be in need of the parts to fix this problem.
Any insight is appreciated. Here is a picture showing the difference. The 84-85 cable is at the top, and the 89 is on the bottom.
