For those of you that have converted to a carb, what did you use for a new throttle cable?
Having a heck of a time finding a cable that will work. any pics of your setups would be great(especially the pedal side!)

Eric, this was the least expensive part of the conversion for me. I simply used the original injection cable that was with the car. Worked fine. Just made up a new bracket to secure the cable at the carb end.

Eric, sorry its taken me a few days to get to the shed for pics. Been to busy making furniture for impending baby arrival.
Bracket I made up as per pics bolts to the Edelbrock manifold and cable bolts to that. You may have a different cable set up but the following worked out for my application.
