As I've said before .. "she" will punish you if you get too nuts. Be careful with that right foot.
Thanks for the tip, but I practice RSD (responsible sideways driving).
WOT on this car is straight scary, so I DO respect it very much.

Found an outfit called "Control Cables Inc." that is making an exact duplicate of my cable TODAY, shipping on monday, should have the cable back in my car on wednesday.
So far, the fuel system looks to be leak-free, so I should be back on the road after the new throttle cable install.
It will be very satisfying, as I've had to do all the work myself.

New throttle cable should be here Wednesday!
Fuel rail seems fixed, everything is holding pressure and no leaks.
Hopefully thursday I'll be out cruising around.

Cable arrived late today. I have it installed, just need to adjust it, and then put the car back together. Should be on the road before noon tomorrow!
Snow White has risen once again from her deep slumber!
Got the car all finished today, everything seems to be OK. Water temps and oil temps perfect, oil pressure is above good (40-45lbs at idle with oil temps of 220, always above 60lbs anytime else. It only goes above 65 when I REALLY rev the motor up, otherwise it just runs at 60-65 everywhere), goobs of power! I gave my friend a ride, went through the gears to the top of 3rd, looked over at him and he was truly terrified lol.
I'm a happy camper, hopefully for a long time.

Way ta go! 
It's amazing how much better the car feels with the new throttle cable!
The old one laid up against one of the headers and got melted, so the cable was running on metal. Out of the car, you can pull on one end very lightly, and it takes all the strength you have to pull the cable from the other side.
This explains why it was so hard to push on the pedal.
Now it's smooth as butter.
Fuel leak fix seems to be holding as well.
