Reconnect your accelerator pedal to the carburetor throttle with the Pioneer Automotive Industries Carburetor Accelerator Cable, part number CA-8775.

An accelerator cable carries pedal movement to the carburetor throttle linkage. It pulls the throttle open as the pedal is pressed and lets it return when you lift off. Pioneer offers its cables as a high-quality replacement alternative, made to OE specs.
- Steel inner cable: A durable steel core carries pedal movement to the throttle.
- Polymer outer housing: Surrounds the inner cable and is designed to protect it from corrosion and abrasion.
- Made to OE specs: Produced to original-equipment specifications for the listed applications.
- Hardware where applicable: Pioneer cables often include common brackets, grommets and ends where the application calls for them.
Signs this part may need replacing: These include a sticking or binding accelerator pedal, a throttle that is slow to return to idle, a stiff or uneven pedal feel, or a frayed, kinked or damaged cable. Other problems, such as a worn throttle linkage or a weak return spring, can cause similar symptoms. Inspect the throttle system to confirm the cause before replacing parts.
