Throttle cable too slack - Canadian Mustang Owners Club

firemedic · **Throttle cable too slack**

Well I just installed an Accufab 75mm T/B onto the stock plenum.

I now have soo much slack in the throttle cable I only get 2/3 throttle.

I thought FORD might have a new end piece to crimp on...Yea right.

So anyone overcome this problem?

Thanks

Thanks, I looked at that but was hoping for something a little cleaner.

Right now I am trying to find some sort of crimp end so I can just cut off the end and recrimp it closer.

You would think this would be an easy task, NOT.

Use 2 thick zip ties. I've used it since I bought my car and it works like a charm.

Great.

So here is what I did. I got a universal door pin, type with the split down the side. Cut to length and it slid right over the cable between the pedal and end crimp. A couple zip ties for security and it is done. Nice and solid, no slop and the crimp end slides right into the pin.

Thanks guy's.
