Anyone know what length Lokar style throttle cable is needed when converting to cable setup, 24" or 36", from rod style on a 69 Camaro. I am installing a Quickfuel carb similar to a Holley. Any suggesting on the pedal, factory or Lokar or something else.
Thanks

two feet should be plenty, but I always buy a 3' just in case. You can trim any of them to the exact length needed, and there's only a few bucks difference in price between the two. Prefer the black case cables for the OEM look, but that's just me.

The Lokar throttle pedal works fine but I wish they'd tweak the mount pattern slightly, always have to slightly enlarge the two holes in the body, the bolt pattern is just a bit off.
