Idle control

[Madgyver]

I've seen a few different types and liked the one with the bicycle gear shifter but you can't beat this for free. It's the stock throttle bracket with cable I had in my spare parts..........

Thanks. Very cool. That is a clean install of the control knob on the dash.
Where did you find that cable setup? It looks like factory.

It is factory but usually mounted way on the left side of the guage cluster.
I just made it shorter and used one of Duke's control knobs and the stock throttle bezel.

Yep, I have one in my 75 that I installed next to the igniton switch but it has the factory matching knob. Actually I have had a couple and sole them but that is all I have ever seen, can't say there rare, but they weren't plentiful.

My 70 has a stock one right by the door if fact gets in the way of my roll bar.

I have been told that these were factory installed whenever the which was ordered or the snow plow option. i do not know that for a fact. You see quite a few of them. You can pick them up on e-bay from time to time. Just search bronco throttle cable. I got a perfect one, cable knob, and pedal lever for $30.

Where was installation on the 66 for throttle knob? Was it standard or put wherever?. Thanks

 

[NMWILLY]

On the '66 it was located left of the ignition switch and lined up below the emergency flasher light.

By the way I have a NOS throttle cable for 67' and up. If anyone is interested PM me.

Nice work. Is that Chuck's throttle cable you're using there? How do you like it?

Mad, why do you periodically dig up these old threads?

Don't get me wrong, I enjoy re-reading them. Just wondering.

Mad, why do you periodically dig up these old threads?

after about a year from the last post, it will go to archive.
once it gets archived, it gets locked.
