I have a friend that lives in Troy, Michigan that needs an Accelerator Cable for his 1973 Ford Econoline 200.

I just thought that someone might know where he could locate one.

Thanks so much

Accelerator cable? My van has a mechanical linkage from the pedal all the way to the carb. Are you sure about that? Perhaps he needs the linkage or a piece of it?  I've never seen one with a cable.

 

There's a van at the wreckers near here that may have the required parts if it is indeed linkage parts he needs. I won't be able to make it there for a couple of weeks - should be long enough for him to snap some pics of his set up and figure out what's up.


1974 Club Wagon Chateau, Brook Blue Metallic over Wind Blue. Oh yeah.

Thanks Marion for your reply. I think you are correct. Even on my 1974 the linkage is metal with a few brackets etc. and not an actual cable.

I have forwarded your reply to him. Thanks so much for responding. If i hear of anything new i will keep you posted.
