We have now reproduced the factory throttle cable for 68 69 70 71 72 Buick Skylark & GS models. It is the correct size and shaped cable, unlike some others are selling as a replacement. Fits all 4bbl Skylark and GS models. Uses a ball stud on carb and a rectangular bracket mounting on carb (black square fittings at both ends) . Total length of cable is 21" and black housing to firewall is 11 1/2". $39.00 and in stock now!
If it's 21" long with 11.5" spacing, it's for a 455. http://www.buickperformance.com/ThrottleCableComparison.htm
Buick Frank McIntyre already reproduces these, and has been selling them for over a year now. Is The Parts Place now selling his, or did they have a new vendor make them?
where is there contact info? I sent a pm with no luck. ---------- Post added at 09:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ---------- i found it.
If the the Parts Place cable is the same as Frank's, then it will fit a 72. However, you will need a throttle cable bracket from a 70, as this will allow for enough travel to allow the throttle blades to open fully. That's what I had to do. Cheers Randy
Don't buy this product, it's not correct. They advertise as 11.5 from the firewall but it is only 10.25.
