Keep your throttle responding crisply with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable (CA-8626 (also CA8626)). This cable links the gas pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage, so pressing the pedal pulls the inner wire and opens the throttle. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 1972-1974 Volkswagen Beetle [All], 1972-1974 Volkswagen Karmann Ghia [All], 1973-1974 Volkswagen Thing [All], and 1974-2004 Volkswagen Sedan [All].
A frayed, stiff, or stretched accelerator cable can cause a sticky pedal, delayed throttle response, or difficulty holding steady throttle. If a failed cable is the cause, this replaces it. Common brackets, grommets, and ends are included where applicable to the application. Country of origin: Colombia.
