can this be repaired? The attatchment ball thingy is gone off the end.

yeah, throttle cables are pretty easy to change. you might bring the old one in to the dealer to compare, as there were a couple different types of attachments to the pedal on at least some models.52

thanks guys, maybe I shoulda noted I have a 79 brat

will the dealer go back that far? or is off to the JY to search?

Might as well shoot for a new one at the dealer first, they're cheap enough.

What I'm trying to get at is this: in my experiance with dealerships here ,most don't carry stuff more than 10 yrs back.

A lot of JY's here are the same. I've never been to the Sub dealership here, it's about 1 hr from my house, maybe they do ,I'll

call and see.

 

If not, can the end piece be replaced?

Auto parts stores tend to stock them for Ea81 powered cars so give it a try with yours.

 

I had to special order one at Advance auto but it was like 9 bucks. I didnt end up getting it cuz mine is a turbo and needs a shorter one but it was right for the carb model.

Sat on hold with dealer for WAY too long then I said to myself

"Autozone you idiot !"

$15...on order.

I f I cant't get this carb going I think I'll scrap the truck for parts. Turns out it has more rust on the chasis than I thought. Might sell

jumpseats,rollbar etc. anyway just to pay for the thing since IT"S ROTTING AWAY ! Just the chassis though the rest of the body is great.

go have fun with a mig if it's all underbody rust... start welding in patches

I thought about that and a sawzall! If I could get my $ back out of it I could put it into a hatch...if one exists around here!

Dealer + Cheap enough? Those words are to never be used together on this board again.

 

The dealer is the last place I'd go

 

Check a parts store before going to the dealer
