Many years ago, I had a 1952 Ford 2 door sedan with a 289 engine. I was at a friend's house one day and the throttle linkage broke. To get home, I took a piece of wire from between the headlights, tied it to the carburetor linkage, ran it thru the firewall and tied the other end off on the door arm rest. There was enough slack so that I could hook my thumb over the steering wheel and pull the wire for acceleration. The only hard part was not pressing on the broken throttle pedal when using the wire/throttle! Can you say "Rubegoldberg"?
