Does anyone know the length for a GSL-SE throttle cable? I need to get a new one because hte connector on the end of mine is wrong for the carb setup I have going...Thanks

I'm not sure on the length, but you can buy them at mazdatrix for about $30.

thanks but I dont need another stock one. I need one with a different connector on the end, and all Mazda cables use the same one. I already called Mazdatrix and they didn't know either...

 

I used one of a N/A 86-88

 

Which carb are you going to use? I'll be using an Edelbrock, and there are ways to get it to work with the stock T end piece. I've got to figure out how to make it work first though.

 

I will be using a Holley carb and I cant really find a way to hook it up. I'm not sure aN FC cable would work either, because it has the stock T-end like mine already does...I guess I'll have to pull it out and see...

 

we just made a little bracket to accept the factory 'T' that bolted to the linkage

 

That's a good idea...I tried somethink like that, with the stock linkage from a 12A carb, and I dont know if it will work (probably not), but I am waiting to try it before buying a new cable....

 

What I've figured out is two flat pieces of 1mm thick sheet metal, about 1.5 to 2 inches long, with a hole near each end. Bolt them together on the carb so both ends are nearly snug. Then the T end of the stock cable will fit into the holes on the end of the metal pieces. Then snug the bolt down (but not too tight!) and use a another nut to counter tighten them so they'll stay and won't come loose. That's what I'm going to do on my Edelbrock. I even found a piece of 1 to 1.5mm thick metal bracket to use (it even has holes that look like the right size for the T).
