    Get a 69-73 Mustang 302 or 351W cable,NAPA should have it in stock.
     
  4. exactly what jeff said.. i bought mine at advance auto for $13..this was after i spent $75 on the lokar cable that came out of the bracket and melted on my exhaust.. for $13 i'd buy 2 or 3 of them.. fyi..they are a little short so route it the best you can.

    The C6 is a little longer,a cable from a Torino same years should work just fine.

    When I was a young boy I marveled at the things my Norwegion Grandpa could tell me about life,He barely had a sixth grade education and when He was 14 went to work in the lumber mills in Northern Minnesota and the Mesabi Iron mines came down to the Twin Cities and drove street cars in His 30's met my Grandmother and they opened a restaurant together.When I asked Him why he knew so much,He said"every day you learn someting, put dat in da head and keep dat for later someday you vill be older and visor too" He also told me "education is good to go in one ear but too much makes common sense go out the other ear" So as you all read the knowledge shared in this in this forum,keep it stored away.
