Anybody know the correct size throttle cable for a 87 foxbody.mine seems stretched and is not allowing the throttle body plate to open all the way.i have a trickflow intake and 70 mm throttle body if that makes any difference. thanks in advance.

Never seen a factory cable stretch where the TB wouldn't open all the way. Are looking to stay factory or you can get a Lokar cable which you assemble yourself, braided stainless steel.

Check to make sure it isnt binding due to the routing...
