Hey Got a question!!

OK so I added A throttle body spacer to my ford f-150 4.2L and the throttle cable isnt quite the right length to fit back into its holder to beable to rev and what not. So I have pulled it out of the throttl cable holder and moved it alittle forward so I could rig it by using zip ties.

But the question is where can i get a throttle cable I can adjust or get a longer one or what not.. If can put up a picture if you need to see what i'm talking about.

I would get rid of the throttle body spacer and save your money. they are usless and provide no extra power.

Try to sell it on ebay or something.
It's only going to cause problems. Not help anything!
Or you could use it on your desk,,,I here they make a great paperweight.

try diy intake mods. I don't know if they will apply to the 4.2, but gotts, and silencer removal. it will get you a louder intake sound anyway.
