[Tigers] Accelerator Cable linkage

[slaifman at socal.rr.com]

Tony,

Mine snapped on a lightly traveled surface street, and I had to limp home at a "fast" idle.  Sunbeam Specialties carries a replacement, and it is the correct length stock manifold, as well as the Edelbrock F4B LAT manifold with the Holley 1850 4 BBL carb.
