    Those of you with a driving COE .............. What did you use for throttle control? Linkage or cable?

    How about shifter and linkage what did you use for this?

    Thanks,
    Donn

    Cable, Cable, Cable, Always use cable over linkage when you can. Easier to set up and no maintenance. I'm using a 70's GM column with shifter because my floor has to come out for engine maintenance and tune ups. If my floor was permanent I would use a Lokar floor shifter.

    My throttle cable came from California Cable Co.(about 16 feet long)
    My shifter cable came from NAPA. I found it in the Balkamp catalog in the Industrial section under push/pull cables. It is connected to a Lokar Nostalgia shifter(about 10 feet long I think)
    My power steering hose was made using Aeroquip fittings and the power steering hose made to work with the fittings. about 12 feet long if I remember correctly)

    Everything has worked flawlessly for 16,000 miles over a 5 year time period.
