HELP!!! throttle cable interchange

[John V]

The throttle cable in the 78 took a dump and decided I wanted to swap it out in 100+ degree weather. :mad: :mad: :mad: So I go to the trusty parts 77 and the whole pedal assy. is different! What I need to know is if the cable will swap to the 78? :confused: TIA!

I am surprised it was different.........I have swapped pedals and cables through out all year range. Strange!! :eek:

The 78 has an approx 4" square box mounted on the firewall that the pedal pivit comes off on and mounts 2 screws low and 1 above. The 77 has just normal looking brackets but 1 screw low and 2 above. The kickdown wiring is also on opposite sides if that helps any. I was just hoping someone could let me know if the cable will work before I go out and find out the hard way it don't.

well the cable should. I beleive they are all a Ford Cable.
