    If your running a carburetor...The stock throttle cable will work fine.

    Your going to need to make a 5.0 Fox cable/bracket work or get an aftermarket one. Lokar makes a descent one...

    If you use the Lokar, you'll need the plastic thingy off the factory cable, that clips into the pedal arm, it'll hold the Lokar end in place.
