Sorry, Sue. Its a vendor item & they all carry it. There are two throttle 
cables- OEM and the slightly longer aftermarket cable with slicker lining in 
the jacket. Its quite a chore to R & R the cable assembly 'cause there are 
screwed on hold-down clips under the console so it all has to come out. The 
rear upholstery panel also need to be removed and some people say if the 
drivers seat is out, the job is easier. Route the new cable so all the curves 
are as gentle as possible- which may not be identical to what's there now. 
Tight bends wear the liner on the outside of the curves; a worn liner wears & 
snags the cable and you're back to square 1 in a few years. But once adjusted 
properly (our OEM cable from '72 is still in there) they will last a looong 
time. Good luck- J Deryke
