I've found a few places for NOS that show them. C5TZ 9A758-AH (352 V8 )

Mountain Ford, Hazard, Ky 1-800-269-5239 qty 1
Green Sales Cinci, Oh. 1-800-543-4950 qty 2
JST Automotive Lebanon, Tn. 1-877-443-3086 qty 1
O'Meara Ford Northglenn, Colo 1-800-525-8758 qty 1
Jim Click Ford Tucson, Az 1-800-362-7002 qty 1
Sanderson Ford Glendale, Az 1-800-352-6700

Call them up and see and ask for prices as the locator doesn't list the prices. Call more than one to compare prices, everyone sells at different prices.

throttle cable troubles

Hello everyone. I'm new to this, but ironically, I have the same problem right now. I'm looking for a replacement cable for my '66, 352 also. What is the correct length of the cable that I need? I've found anywhere between 18" and 24"... and suggestions?

Kay, The 18" is for the V8 and the 24" for the I6.

I used a thoutle cable off a 1985 gmc jimmy with a few modifications it works out really good. The only problem I have is at the carb but I think I got it worked out now.

Well since posting this originaly, I came up with a solution. The local Vatozone had A chromed out universal cable for $20. It didn't fit like the old cable, but it works just fine.

Thanks so much guys! I'm keeping all of these options in mind for the future. Everyone in the country discontinued making them, and since they only used the cable in 65' and 66' no one sells them anymore. I found one in a junkyard off a wrecked 65' (it was so sad to see it like that) and it fits great. They are not long lasting though, so I'm glad that I have some solutions if I run into this problem again! You guys rock, and my 66' appreciates it!

Do you have a brand and part number so others can maybe source these?

Sure don't, but it was one of those things hanging up in the cheesey chrome section of the shelves, between the neon lightup licensplate holders and the chrome skull shaped dipsticks.
