Put a fresh link between your right foot and the throttle with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8420. It is a replacement accelerator cable for the 1981-1983 Chrysler Imperial. It connects the accelerator pedal to the throttle linkage so pedal movement is carried through to the throttle. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-level fitment details.
Pioneer builds its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, made to OE specs:
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel core carries pedal input to the throttle.
- Polymer outer housing: Shields the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
- Built to OE specs: Manufactured to original-equipment specifications.
- Hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them.
An accelerator cable may need replacing if the pedal sticks, binds or feels rough, the throttle is slow to return, the pedal has excessive slack, or the cable is frayed or kinked. If a worn cable is causing the problem, this part replaces it. Also check the throttle linkage for binding when you install it.
