Brooke,
I have the same replacement cable as a spare. The current cable appears to be the OEM. Throttle works fine but the thought of taking the stress off the carb linkage is good advice.
Any special install thoughts ? And where are you shimming for the additional tension ?
PS:
Not to be a wise guy but is that a Fram oil filter on your engine. I have never heard anything good and lots of bad about the quality of Fram oil filters. The Ford FL1(?) is rated much higher and they cost the same as Fram. I run the K&N.The filter is well rated and has a nice 1/2" nut welded on the end for easy removal.
