Fitment and Application

Compatible with 1985-1988 Chevrolet Astro, 1985-1988 GMC Safari, 1985-1986 Chevrolet S10, 1985-1986 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 1985-1986 GMC S15, and 1985-1986 GMC S15 Jimmy. Fitment notes list a 40.25 in. application length for these vehicles, so confirm routing and original cable length before installation.

What This Cable Helps Address

  • Sticky or delayed throttle return
  • Frayed or stretched accelerator cable movement
  • Corrosion inside the cable housing
  • Inconsistent throttle opening from pedal input
  • Restoration of worn carburetor throttle linkage

Installation Notes

Match the original end style, routing path, and installed length before fitting the cable. Inspect brackets, grommets, and linkage points for wear, and verify smooth pedal travel after installation. Because the listed fitment notes specify 40.25 in. for the covered vehicles, compare the existing cable to the vehicle application before final assembly.
