Search for an Impala early 80's car. Impalas did come with diesel engines. I remember my dad owned one. We loved driving the thing. It was a slow pig. Milage was crazy high too.

Re: help need a throttle cable

No kidding??? I was just in need of one for a 79 scottsdale gas engine.... all i could find at the local junk yard was diesels... I finally got 2 way in the back...
Seems to me the diesel throttle cable was about a mile long compared to the gas engine??
