Reconnect your accelerator pedal to the carburetor with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable CA-8689. It is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications: the 1981 Chevrolet C30 and K30 and the 1981 GMC C3500 and K3500.

The accelerator cable links the pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage and turns pedal movement into throttle opening. Pioneer offers this cable as a high-quality replacement alternative, manufactured to OE specs.

  • Built to OE specs: made as a high-quality replacement alternative to the original cable.
  • Durable steel inner cable: the steel core carries pedal input through to the throttle.
  • Polymer outer housing: protects the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.
  • Hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends when the application calls for them.

Signs this part may need replacing: a stiff or sticking pedal, a throttle that returns slowly, or a frayed, kinked or broken cable. If a worn accelerator cable is the cause, CA-8689 replaces it.

See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-specific fitment.

What does a carburetor accelerator cable do?

It links the accelerator pedal to the carburetor's throttle linkage. Pressing the pedal opens the throttle, and releasing it lets the throttle close.

What are signs an accelerator cable may need replacing?

A stiff or sticking pedal, a throttle that is slow to return, or a frayed, kinked or broken cable can be signs of a worn cable. Diagnose the cause before replacing.

What is this cable made of?

Pioneer uses a durable steel inner cable inside a polymer outer housing. The housing protects the inner cable from corrosion and abrasion.

Does it come with brackets or grommets?

Pioneer notes that its cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where applicable. Compare the new cable with your original and transfer or replace hardware as the service procedure directs.
