13BT first gen throttle cable
For those of you with a 13bt in your first gen, how did you secure that long T2 throttle cable? What did you attach it to as it loops around? Any pics?
thanks

The TII engine should have several looped holders that mount to the engine to hold the cable as it snakes around the front, passenger side and then to the back side of the engine. Search through the 2nd gen section for pics.
Section 4B, page 43 of the 87 FSM has a couple of line diagrams which show the cable holders. There are 2 like the one shown in the front. The second one is on the driver's side. I'm not sure what's used on the passenger side, I haven't located mine yet. lol

Yeah, I have the 2 cable holders but just trying to find a good place to secure them. The one on the drivers side I think I'm gonna attach it to this little tab that comes off of the oil fill. The passenger's side, I need to make a bracket like Mel suggested but just trying to get an idea where to run it from. The passenger side cable holder doesn't want to slide across the cable, it seems to be stuck in one place. I will take a look at the FSM, Thanks

If you have a right hand drive car the std Sa22c throttle cable will work as thats what i used on mine, im unsure if this would work for a left hand drive car.

Cool, looking at your pic just made me think, maybe I can run the bracket from the water pump housing area rather than from the top of the intake manifold!! Thanks
