Description

Link your gas pedal to the carburetor again with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8491. It replaces the accelerator cable on the 1978-1981 Pontiac Firebird and the 1980-1981 Chevrolet Camaro. The cable connects the accelerator pedal to the carburetor throttle linkage, opening the throttle as you press the pedal and letting it close when you release it.

Made to OE specs: Pioneer builds this cable to OE specifications as a quality replacement alternative.
Steel inner cable: A durable steel inner cable carries pedal movement to the throttle.
Polymer outer housing: The polymer housing protects the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
Common hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them.

These signs may mean the accelerator cable needs replacing:

A pedal that sticks or binds
A throttle that is slow to return to idle
A cable that is frayed, kinked or has too much slack

If a worn or damaged cable is causing the problem, this part replaces it. Diagnose the cause before replacing, because linkage or carburetor faults can produce similar symptoms.

Fitment: 1978-1981 Pontiac Firebird · 1980-1981 Chevrolet Camaro. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine-specific application details.

Interchange: 61415 · CE142 · 4163 · 1254791 · 6101353 · CB103
