I'm looking for a cable for my 66 F100. So far i'm not having much luck with the local parts people. If anyone has any info please let me know and thank you. Frosty

Look in the repo catalogs. Also post what engine/tranny combo you have and I can look up an NOS one and try the locator.

That's not stock, so you probably will need a cable from a 1970-72 F-100 with a 302 to make it work.

What kind of carburetor are you running? I bought some "ball joint" type hardware from MR. Gasket; you can look through a Mr. Gasket catalogue (look around the carb return springs, etc.) at your local parts dealer and order them. Then use a 1/4" rod to connect them together. This worked great on my son's 61, which has a 351W with an Edelbrock carb.
