1978 L78 Nova Throttle Cable/Upholstery
 
Folks, can anyone tell me which throttle cable is correct for a 1970 L78 Nova? I have found several on line (and ordered two) and both are too long. Any advice (correct part #, length, and vendor) would be appreciated.

Also, any recommendation's for seat covers and headliner? I checked Legendary but they don't appear to have upholstery for a Nova.
Thx
Oliver

L78 Throttle Cable...
 
The transition from the rod to the cable setup took place at the end of 1969. Our Dec. 69 L78 Nova has the rod...our Jan. 70 has the cable.

I will try to dig up a part number...but the last one I purchased came from Wayne Bushey at National Nostalgic Nova...he can help with your interior items as well. Give him a shout...

Thx all. The last one I bought was the 3998642 (20 5/16" long). It's just a bit too long. Maybe the curved arm on the pedal is bent a bit? The first one I bought was a bit longer so maybe the 3996342 (21 3/8" long) but I can't find the old invoice. I'll have to find the cable and check it but it was quite a bit too long. The shorter one (3998627-18 /7/8" long) appears to be for a 2 bbl carb and would be too short, I think. Once we get the car out of winter hibernation, I'll check it out. Thx again, Oliver
