    My throttle cable snapped on my Comet and stranded me on the side of the highway. Are there any compatible throttle cables that would be a direct fit?

    I think 72 was the year they made two different throttle cable ends where it attaches to the pedal. Which end are you looking for?

    It is the one on the bottom that is pressed on. It looks similar to the mustang throttle cables of the same era, but I am unsure of the length.

    Sorry - I posted a pic of a V8 cable.
    Nevermind - I will take down that post.

    If you still need a 6 cyl cable....I probably have one. Email me directly (see below) if I can help.
