WTB 86 Civic 1500 Carb Throttle Cable

Take some photos of the ends of the cable and the housing; there may be something that can be substituted, either from another Honduh or whatever...

You ever find one of these?

Nope, still looking. And I haven't had a chance to pull the old one off yet, so I don't know what other options might work.

I did manage to find one in my pile of ITC Civic stuff, but it's used. I'm pretty sure I bought it brand new when I was experimenting with OEM carbs back in 2001 or so, and it even looks like it was only used a couple of times. If you're ever thinking about converting to a Weber, keep that old throttle cable, as you'll have to cut the end off of it anyways in order to attach the Weber linkage attachy thingy to the cable.

My cable is not so good:

It can't look as bad as mine. I sent you an email. You can email me at jimhardesty at ameritech.net.

Haha - I can't believe you're actually racing with that. I responded to your email an hour or two ago - sorry, I was out of town all weekend.

Just saw this post. I may still have one or two stock carb'd throttle cables laying around in my basement from my ITC days if you are still looking. I'll check tonight.
