Accelerator Cable Issue.....help

[69hurstolds]

A chevy won't fit right out of the box. Would have to modify something else to fit. I'd rather just get another bushing.

Thanks I ordered the ILT kit. I looked at the pioneer part on RA and the grommet is in the picture but i guess i got the last one...they're out of stock now...haha...$11 dollars for none of their hassles is fine with me

No guarantees the ILT kit will work. As I said, not sure if it would work. But that's the only Olds bushing that would make sense to fit on the pin. The OD of the bushing would be the concern. If it does work, that would be an awesome discovery because the parts book does not list the bushing by itself. Just the cable and the retainer.

I'll let you know as soon as its in. It gives me something to work with and basically still got it for free

One member here cut down a srew-in valve stem; looked like it worked pretty well....

Got the parts from ILT today. The grommet and plastic bushing fit perfectly but I couldn't use the washer or spring clip. I used the washer clip.

Good deal, but I guess it was really designed for the washer clips...that E clip should work, but I wonder if it would scrape the bushing? Maybe- maybe not.

Again, if you happen to see some...I advise getting the "correct" washer clip.

Two other options are possible. If you have the raw materials, ie brass bar stock and a lathe, you can machine one to fit that loop and solve your problem that way or measure for it and have a buddy with a lathe whittle you one for some liquid compensation. Alternatively, hit the nearest Pick a Part and see if they have a car that still has that grommet attached to the cable. Carbs tend to get grabbed but the throttle cables etc., no so much.
