Ok so I am getting a bunch done but have not figured out the throttle cable. It is too short to reach the 3800 mount. Not by a lot but enough I am not sure what others have done to make it work. The stretch is what makes the cable too short. Any pics or part numbers would be a great help. Thank you all and Merry Christmas!

I used the bicycle cable looped around the chassis down through tunnel to pedal. this is not on Fiero build . forget the mess on that picture, I recently changed whole clutch system with Jim Dinner (ouch$$$) too cold put the sh*t back

What bicycle cabe did you find that was that long? That's a long trip from the gas pedal to the throttle body.
Thank you

my bad, it was universal throttle cable kit, a good 8 years ago, but E bay has plenty to choose 12 '. a little pricy, or check the Summit, or other guys. make sure you clear the cable from engine/ exhaust. what kind of tranny are u using with the3.8

I am running the fiero 4 speed. I am not able to see the end at the pedal so I don't know how to to go about getting the correct cable ends. Not sure I can swap it out since it is buried under the dash. I wish I would have put the motor in when building it I think it would have been easier for some things.

how bout get an extension cable ? somehow to mod two together? Ali Ex got one cheap I looked up it's in Can $$ so US like 18$ worst 20 not a big
deal . I'm sure we all blew $$ more that went wrong. lookup on AliExpress for universal trottle cable extension.
good luck

Here is what I wound up with.
