Easy fix. Go to Performance online and get their standard throttle cable you'll have to shorten it and mount to the hole right above the original on the carb, took me about 15 minutes and works great, like driving a new truck.

RC, Ya gotta get the photo on your hard drive or on a disk attached to your USB port.
Go to edit gallery, click browse, find the photo on your computer and up upload it.
Pretty simple.

Fits: 1965 Galaxie/LTD 289 2V / 1966/67 Galaxie/LTD 289/390 2V / 1968 Galaxie/LTD 289/302/390 2V.
The carburetor end of this cable will be the same, but I dunno about the end that attaches to the gas pedal.
The extra length could be taken up by using a tie strap.
If not too expensive, it could be bought, then compared to the original.
However, after an internet search on two websites, there are none available at any Ford or obsolete dealer, so if it did work, the only place to get any will be at a wrecking yard.

NPD sells a 66 352 accelerator cable F9A758-14. Its 28.66" long and cost $84.95. I think that is where I bought mine and I think I just put a loop in it and its been working fine for about 3 years
