RE: [T3] accel. cable


I gotta agree with Jim.  I've owned my baby since '85 and I've replaced the
accelerator cable once.  When my parents owned her I don't think they ever
had to replaced the cable.

My cable broke near the gas pedal connection.  Luckily, I had a set of
vice-grips so I was able to clamp the tiny portion sticking out of the
tunnel and accelerate by twisting the grips...shifting was tricky to say the
least, especially since it was night in the Cascade mountains and I was 65
miles from college with a full load of stuff (what a way to start ones first
year of college, eh? :).
