Do you still have an automatic?

PONY GUY

yes c-4 auto

mustnglvr

I would think they would be the same. Do you have cruise ?

PONY GUY

no cruise , no speed sensor there is a 76 in and a 95 inch but nobody at any autoparts store can tell me which lenght is for which applicaion

dosen't seem to matter auto or man for the cable w/o cruise.

Ford part number E3BZ 17260-A 71 1/2 inchs long.

the 5.0L was 72.75 inchs long.

ok so what is a 95 inch cable be for???? never heard of those 2 sizes everyone is telling me 76 " or 95" even year one couldnt tell me. so you saying the lenth doesnt matter as long as the ends are right

Thanks for the help

in my catalog 83-91 w/o cruise use's only one cable, the one I have listed.

I'd say the 76" or 95" are the wrong cables.

even if it did have cruise that ones 67 1/2"

I have sold maybe 150 of these over the last 25 years working for Ford dealerships.

looks like they maybe a direct ship from vendor via Ford, there appears to be no local depots thathave any in stock.

My buddy who works at advance auto says he has a 71 1/2 inch on but is with cruise he says so I'll jsut pic that one up and if it worng he has a 76 inch also

back ordered, not really, just comes direct from the packager for Ford. about a week to get.
