85-88 TPI throttle cable

Does anybody sell a stock replacement throttle cable to fit the 85-88 style TPI throttle body?

I have had no luck at any of the local parts houses or the dealer. Any suggestions other than a braided aftermarket one?

The stock throttle cable should be easily available. I recently got one from my local auto parts store as well as Rock Auto. The manufacturer was ATP. I believe the part number was Y373.

Re: 85-88 TPI throttle cable

Looking on rock auto I did not see a listing for the TPI cable but I did find one for the CFI cars which I think it said was 44". I think that is a bit longer than the TPI cable but it should work. Y373 is the part number for that cable.

Re: 85-88 TPI throttle cable

Looking it up by application none of my local auto parts stores or Rock Auto show anything available.

My dealer says 14080202 is discontinued but didn't have a date when that happened. He ran a nationwide search and it shows none on the shelves of a dealer anywhere as NOS.

Rock Auto shows Y373 as for 82 & 83 F-body as an equivalent to GM #14038639. Picture doesn't look correct for early TPI though.

Looks like nobody makes one yet. I might have to find a used one or another application that can work. Guess I start checking out the possible donors at my local wrecking yard.
