Get a later model pedal & throttle cable assembly from the local salvage yard.

Thanks all,

I will head to the salvage yard today. let you know how it works out.

Just a side note...
After about three weeks of reading various posts out here and talking with a few friends I have successfully taken a 350 sbc from one car and made a few changes (major to me and minor to some of you) and started that sucker up in my 62 nova for the first time last nite. OHHH WHAT A FEELING....

Ain't nuthin to it but to do it !!!!
Be sure and get the bracket off the intake manifild for that throttle assembly.......
