Wanted 351/302 v8 throttle cable and bracket (for carbie)

Well as Gary always says 'just peeling back another layer of that onion'. While in the search for the power steering brackets, I have move on to the next layer which is the throttle cable and bracket that attaches the  inlet manifold. I have seen a cable on eBay (https://www.ebay.com/itm/Throttle-Cable-For-1980-1987-Ford-F150-1986-1985-1984-1982-1981-1983-B677CX/173709525079) which is 23" and wonder whether this one will work as a 6 cylinder one I took off is way too long and the bracket is different as well from the 6.

Would anyone be able to help me out to source a throttle cable bracket for a V8 and tell me if this cable is suitable and would the 5 litre bracket and 5.8 litre bracket be the same?

Oz,

LMC sells aftermarket throttle cables, and they list the same part number for 302, 351, 400, and 460.



I just went out and checked mine (5.0/302) and it looks about 23"-ish....



There's 6"/150mm in front of the bracket where the spring is, and then approx 12"/30cm to the firewall, and then a very little bit inside the cab...only 1-2"/25-50mm.

I have a throttle cable bracket that came off of a 1984 302 with cruise control. The cruise control extension is removable. It needs sand blast and paint, but it's all yours if you want it.




PS: I reached out to a local guy here and he thinks he has a 351/5.8 bracket for the PS pump. If you haven't found one yet I'll get a picture of this one and confirm what it is.

Thanks Cory that's great! I will take the throttle bracket and I haven't found the power steering brackets as yet as I think they will be hard to find over here. Just let me know if that other guy has the power steering brackets first and maybe we could ship them all at once. It really annoys me that I didn't do my home work better when I was there last year.

Hey Cory any luck with your guy yet about the brackets.

Yes sir, looking good! Sorry for the delay in getting back I haven't had much time online the past couple days. I'm going to do my best to get the PS bracket for you this weekend and then I can chuck 'em in the mail next week.

Are you in need of anything else new or used that could go with some rusty parts?...lol.

I have an extra set of tailgate chain cover sleeves if you happen to need a set.

What city are you in? Just curious about the time change...If you're in the east, I guess it's probably 12 hrs.

As the old joke used to go, "The world can't end today, it's already tomorrow in Australia!".

TGIF!!

Your a Champion for helping with these bracket as it was looking like no-one over here would have such brackets as we only had the Cleveland's in the Bull nose here and the 87 on aero's had the Windsor's with the serpentine belts. Firstly I need to know how I can fix you up with some Cash for the brackets and postage as well. Thanks for the offer to help send others parts over as well. I think I brought a set of chrome chains awhile ago from LMC. I'm in Sydney, Australia and yes it's already 7pm Friday night 25/10. Can you give me some contact details. Thanks Darin

No worries whatsoever. I'm going to try and grab the bracket on Sunday so once I have it in my hand I'll message you through the forum for a shipping address. Don't worry about the cash at the moment.

The postage shouldn't be bad. I used to deal with a company in Australia called Woolich Racing, and delivery times and prices were always reasonable. I know at the time, the CDN/AUS exchange was almost on par, but I haven't checked it recently.

Looks like you're 14 hrs ahead of me. Have a good weekend and I'll get back to you on Sunday. Cheers.

If your friend has the bracket, can you ask him if he's also go the hardware/bolts for it as well? Cheers!

Thanks again Cory for all the effort you've made into helping me out. It's great to be apart of this forum when you've got people like yourself, Gary and many others to help us out with technical advice and sourcing parts to put these trucks back on the road.

Will do.

Darin,
Just sent you an email through the forum. Just letting you know it case it goes to junk mail or if you don't check emails often.

Cheers,
Cory

Thanks Cory! I got your message and have replied.
