Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable P/N:CA-8873
Put a fresh link between your right foot and the carburetor with the Pioneer Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8616. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1966-1973 Volkswagen Fastback, the 1966-1973 Volkswagen Squareback and the 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing. The cable carries accelerator pedal movement to the carburetor's throttle linkage, so the throttle opens as you press the pedal and closes as you release it.
Signs an accelerator cable may need replacing: the pedal feels stiff or sticks, the throttle is slow to return to idle, the cable shows fraying or kinks, or a broken cable leaves no throttle response. A sticking throttle can also come from the carburetor linkage or the return spring, so inspect those before you replace the cable. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
