Don't ya just love when ya stumble across something you were told doesnt exist any more.
Such is the case with 42 Ford choke and Throttle cable replacement sets.

I was looking at one of my recently arrived catalogs, Obsolete and Classic Auto Parts in Oklahoma and saw they had these still listed.

So what's a guy to do but givem a call. Howard is the fellow that answered the phone and so I asked him if they really had them, but I asked for the 46 cause theyre grey and I redid my interior in grey tweed.

He says "we have a few let me go check". In a minute he comes back and says he doesnt have the 46 Blue/Grey but does have the 42 Butterscotch.
It's the complete set plus dash retainer clips, firewall grommets and rubber carb lever ball rubbers.

I was like a kid waitin on Santa till the FedEx guy dropped em at the back door.

I can understand your enthusiasm.
I needed two more Stromberg 81 baseplates to complete my set of carbs for my Edlebrock 4x2, I contacted a guy who makes reproductions, and as luck would have it he didn’t have any ready to sell but he had two originals he was willing to sell! How lucky can a guy get! :) only made from ‘37-‘39 for the 60hp engines, so they are getting very hard to come by.

I need to replace the throttle cable assembly in my 46 but have held off because it looks like a bugger to install the horseshoe clip in the back of the dash. I can probably get it off but at 79 it is difficult to get up behind the dash to put the clip on. Let me know how you did it. Thanks
