On my 85 3.2 I replaced the snapped cruise control Bowden cable with a used one. At the time there were no new ones anywhere. It did not have solid clips to hold it in place, but I figured that would be fine for a test drive. A few miles later that cable slipped out and caused a WOT throttle. I shut the engine off, and coasted to a safe spot. I pulled the cable off the throttle bracket, and drove home.

Now I have two zip ties in a cross pattern holding it in place. I can't come out again without cutting the zip ties.
