Default throttle cable

Where is the Best place to get a throttle cable for a 1990 corvette, Auto, L98, I've searched best I could find was Corvette Specialty for $103.99 http://corvettespecialty.com/corvett...elerator-cable or universal types. Mine only opens the the throttle about half way.

Purchase a lokar and have a much better cable. You will need to cut & fine tune. And drill out the plastic stop on the fire wall.. but well worth the effort.
Appears you have the wrong cable. Now thats what I call. governor control..
You couldn't use the correct thickness nut.. cut 1 side with a hacksaw. Then pinch it back together. Instant WOT

I will try the nut on the cable but I think the cable is worn and stretched out and may break at a bad time. Thanks for your reply.
