Pioneer Cables CA-8503 Carburetor Accelerator Cable

Carburetor Accelerator Cable for Classic GM Applications

Pioneer Cables CA-8503 is a carburetor accelerator cable built to OE specifications for select Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac vehicles. It uses a durable steel inner cable with a polymer outer housing to help resist corrosion and abrasion, supporting consistent throttle response in older carbureted applications.
