Did I not send you the entire complete original throttle linkage for a '55/56 272 (for use with 2-bbl carb)? Using everything that I sent you, there is no need for additional cable. There originally was no cable, all mechanical. I believe the only thing you nee3ed to get was the idle return spring.
Did I not also say that this was for 2 BBL (Holley 2100 or Ford EBU) carb?
The stuff I sent you will not work for Holley 4-bbl teapot or anything else without modifications.
If you have a cable now and are going to use a 272 with 2-bbl ('54/55 or '56), just use all the stuff I sent you and get a idle return spring. You have EVERYTHING needed from accelerator pedal to carburator. Throw that aftermarket cable in the trash.
