hi. Been told i need a throttle cable with a ball on the end..
any carb-equipped nova cable do? or are 1.2 carb cable different to 1.3 sr??

i take it my existing nova cable (has a 'stud'-style end on it) must off any usual m.p.i models..?

thanks

at the moment you have a barrel type ?

you after the push on ball with the gay clip (like the rear gas strut?)

1.2 carb will do

yeah! i think your right nick,.. barrell-type you call it...

yeah gay clip ball thing. Ok 1.2 carb one.

Im using a bowyer linkage for itb's and it uses o.e throttle cable, but turns out my m.p.i is no good..

All the injection nova engines use that type of cable.
spi and mpi

Best off with a gte/gsi cable as its the longest

all injection novas used what, the clip ball type..??

so all nova cables are the same??

I dont need much length, itb's are right at the back of the engine bay, near the bulkhead..

The clip ball yeh.
No, some carb engines used barrel end cables.
