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? :).
