[Tigers] Throttle Cable

[Steve Laifman]

Bill,

I was driving home when the gas pedal went to the floor, and the car 
went to idle.  Embarrassing .  The "cable" broke at the carb. connection 
dog-leg rod end.

I purchased a replacement from Rick, at SS.  It was, as was the 
original, a stiff wire rather than a "cable".  It has been about 10 
years and it works fine.
