It is a replacement for the 1980-1981 Oldsmobile Cutlass, 1980-1984 Oldsmobile Cutlass Calais, 1980-1983 Oldsmobile Cutlass Cruiser, 1980 and 1985-1987 Oldsmobile Cutlass Salon, 1980-1988 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme and 1986-1987 Buick Regal.

Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, built to OE specs.
The accelerator cable is the mechanical link between the pedal and the carburetor. Pressing the pedal pulls the inner cable through its housing to open the throttle, and releasing the pedal lets the throttle return. Signs the cable may need replacing include a sticking or stiff pedal, a throttle that is slow to return, excessive slack, or a frayed or kinked cable. The throttle linkage or return spring can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.
