BEST Throttle Cable for EFI?
I am needing a Throttle Cable for my 91 F150, 5.0, EFI. The OEM Ford part is # E9TZ9A758L and I can't find it anywhere. I hate to get an After market but if so, I wish to get the best one available. Any suggestions on brand? Thanks, Jon.

I Bought the (37?) inch cable instead of the (42?) inch one (listed for my truck) , it fits and connected everything good, but the actual cable was too long, and the pedal sat too low.
Basically I'm just saying don't be too picky, get a cable, and with maybe a little adjustment, it'll work.

I think you have the numbers reversed. It sounds like you bought a cable that was too long and then the pedal doesn’t do anything until there is tension on the cable.

no. Shorter plastic, longer cable

The plastic is irrelevant. The clip locks the cable into the gas pedal and the spring on the throttle body end keeps tension on the cable.
Anyway, to the OP, remove and measure your old cable before ordering.

Yes, op should measure though. I didn't, but I wasn't going to go through the trouble of returning and buying another cable.
