Need information on 1947 Ford choke / throttle cables
Looking for information / pictures of the choke & manual throttle cable assemblies for my 47 convertible. How long would they be? Are there reproductions or have to find originals?
Thanks |

I could not find repops anywhere and cobbled together a version using a universal choke cable, 39/40 rods, and connectors. Success TBD.

Thanks FortyNiner , that is what I may have to do.
Still looking for the overall length of this assembly for 46 - 48 in case I do find some in my search |

Looks like there are two possible for 1947 V8 choke. 1946-47 35" or 1947-48 25.5".

Re: Need information on 1947 Ford choke / throttle cables
I bought mine from C&G (800) 266-0470. They are a bit pricey, at about $150 a set, but high quality. The sets include the knobs, joints, clips, and grommet sets. Some 47s have the gray/tan knobs, a carry over from '46, while the later knobs are tan. Know which you need before you order.

NOS ones are not too hard to find.

Re: Need information on 1947 Ford choke / throttle cables
As supereal said, check your other dash knobs. Ford used-up their '46 body items and colors unpredictably during 1947. My "late" 47 has the tan dash knobs. I always cut my choke cables to required length using a hack saw or whatever. If you need, the knobs can be purchased separately from some classic Ford parts venders. NOS ? ..... maybe try the classified ads here or at the Early Ford V8 forum site or at Ebay in their Ford Flathead items pages.

I would very much wish to be proven wrong about the availability of these items. Thanks!

Re: Need information on 1947 Ford choke / throttle cables
I bought a new repo set from Obsolete & Classic Auto Parts in Oklahoma, they still list them when other vendors have long since sold out. I believe that Dennis Carpenter was making them but hasn't done a run for a long time. Here is a link,
https://www.classicautopartsonlineca...%C2%AE-V8/128/ if they can't supply the colour you need, you might have to order a set of knobs and change them.

I believe we still have some NOS in stock, Dennis Carpenter's NOS parts department has them, and I'd imagine Southside Obsolete would have some.

Re: Need information on 1947 Ford choke / throttle cables
Most pleased to be proven wrong!
So a couple of houses, while good sources generally, don't have these items. Specifically, C&G, Early Ford Store, and Southside Obsolete. Working on others now.
