Carb cable ball size.

You know the throttle cable has the quick release on it. 66 F100 with the 352 and autolite 2 barrel.

What size is the ball?

Or is it as simple as putting an end wrench over it to find out the size? I don't wanna find out its one of these OD vs ID things.

I need the ball. My cable is currently still fine.

Holley has a 20-2 kit that has every size ball, but I would like to buy just the right size and save 5 or so bucks.

Where is this "ball" located? I see no pic of it in the parts catalog.

If you're asking for the swivel the cable attaches to, it was only furnished with the carb.

Damn.

I saw the ball on the autolite, but it is not removeable.

Here's the ball kit.
Holley 20-2 - Holley Carburetor Throttle Lever Studs - Application - SummitRacing.com

I will pick this up later this week from my local speed shop.

Just installed a Holley two barrel today, had to buy ball for the Holley, it took a 9/32 socket to on the ball side to tighten. Hope this helps.
