| I cannot help with the install itself, never did one, but I can mention that
the cable runs through some tubing under the van on my '86.  The tubing has
joints that must be watertight.  I had a joint open up and water get in there.
In the winter it froze up as I was driving (of course while at a high rpm too).

Another problem is corrosion. My accelerator cable rusted and snapped in two
last year because of water seeping into  the tubing. Naturally, it picked an
opportune time...while I was travelling up a steep grade on Vancouver Island.
