5.0 Throttle Body Linkage

[Mike S]

When upgrading to the 94-95 5.0 throttle body, where did you get ball stud to use with the stock throttle cable?

its the same? i didnt have an issue and just snapped it on.

No it's not. The stock unit has a ball, the 5.0 TB has a disk.

Napa sells a ten dollar kit with an assortment of ball/stud thingies. Buy the kit, use the one part that fits, toss the rest.

McMaster Carr has ball studs like the ones on the hatch struts. That's another place to look.

Measure the stock one and look up that size so it matches the cable end.

Mike, shame on you.

You're supposed to humiliate them into using the search function, and then ban them.

Mike S, stott and Patrick are banned (until their next post).

Thanks for the info. That's what i thought, but didn't want to re-invent the wheel.
