Accelerator cable?

[Coryduran]

So yesterday as I went to start my car, the cable that runs from the pedal to through the firewall to the linkage at the carb snapped right near the pedal. I have read through my repair manual's section on that area, and searched a few parts websites but I haven't been able to find any details on replacing this cable.

I'm really just wondering what kind of cable I need to get to replace this, and maybe a little info on the process of replacing the actual cable itself.

I have included a picture that should help you guys know what I'm talking about, if it isn't clear already.

Also it's a 2 barrel 273.

It has a clip, on the firewall.

Thanks, but I still don't really know what to replace it with. I mean is there a certain diameter cable or type that I need? No mention of it in my manual that I could find.

Your best bet will be to find someone here who has the correct cable and pedal assembly for you car, ie; /6, or V8. After you get one, you can unbolt yours from the firewall and replace it with the one you acquire. I hope this helps.

Thanks a ton Bob, I found it on Layson's, more expensive than I was expecting but at least I know it's out there.
