What throttle cable?

[DKz Garage]

Looking for some input on what throttle cable to use. 69 Camaro with LS3, FAST 90mm throttle body (drive by cable). I know I have to make a bracket to mount the cable on the intake .... what Lokar (or other option) cable should I use?? I have a Lokar billet gas pedal. The cable must have a barrel nut to fit into the hole/slot in the throttle body.....

Thoughts??

I think I have the same throttle pedal, I used this part Lokar TC-1000LS1U hope this helps, It is a 36 inch cable. You may not need one this long It can be cut down if needed. Good luck..

I just used a Lokar cable as well. I thought about getting a bicycle brake cable, but there's no good way to adjust it, or shorten it.

They make them with black sheathing as well, which is what I went with. I believe they can make them any length. I got one that's 48" long.

But Holley sells a throttle cable bracket that you can use with the GenIV 4 bolt throttle body

here is a pic of my engine that I am using a LS3 intake manifold and Edlebrock DBC TB

What ECM are you running?
I've understood it that you have to go backwards to run cable throttle body on LS3. Which means getting a 24 tooth reluctor for the cam and running the LS1/6 style computer.

Not to burst your bubble. I actually prefer drive by wire because of the ease of setting up cruise control. Two buttons and bam, cruise. Not like cable. You have to install another module and another cable at minimum.

Any pics of how it comes through the firewall? I dont think my car has the hole for it.

Any idea what size bolts are use to attach the throttle pedal to the floor board?
