custom.. go to a speed shop & get one, they aren't that expensive. They come in certain lengths, get longer than needed, & cut to length. I ran mine thru the same hole as the factory cable.

might be alittle late but i've gone with lokar for my past 3 conversions, what ever you do make sure the cable has plenty of slack, those engines rock alot in toyota's and could juice the throttle more than you want when you get on it.

I have an 83 yota pickup and I used the throttle cable out of an 80' chevy pickup. its the same cable frm like 77-85 or so. All I did was grind outmy hole on the firewall and the cable just pops right in and holds there on its own. Then, it hooked right up to the Q-jet because thats what is was made for and it went on the stock gas pedal without any modifications.

I am swapping a chevy 350 into a toyota that originally had the 3.0 v6, unfortunately i did not label any of the wires except for the injectors and the alternator wires. I know how stupid that was, but now i need to know what wires i need and how to wire the stock gauges. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, DJ
