throttle cable?

my throttle cable is not working right it sticks when i floor it and im sure its because it has not been used in 35 years.can i lube it up i tried from the engine compartment but still the same sticking or does any one know where i can get a new one or good used one.
thanks john

 

you could probaly get a used one from someone on the board

 

Soak it good with PB Blaster, let it sit a while, then soak it again. Put a stiff return spring on, and work it a few times and it should loosen up. If not, Lokar makes a nice but expensive aftermarket cable, or Mean Maverick or Craig Selvey might have a used factory cable.

 

thanks guys i think i will try the pb blaster.it does work a little but when i get to a certain point it sticks.so i will pull it out and soak it.or see if one of the guys on here have one.

Once upon a time mine was sticking because the bracket that the gas pedal pivots on was worn.

 

throttle cable

if you need one i think i have one in my attic of goody's. if you need it just oay for the shiiping. l i live in ne ark

 

Look to see if your cable is starting to fray on the inside of the car.

 

Also a throttle cabe out of a carburated 5.0 Mustang is nearly identical and will bolt right in.
