You'll need a 5.0 TV cable.Check good old E-Bay.I have the '86 model TV cable.Not easy to find,but I got one that is next to new for $10.00.Great price.

The TV cable is the other cable.TV stands for "throttle valve".You'll also need the cable bracket if you don't have one.I saw one yesterday on E-Bay.I'll try to find it.

I'm in the middle of the same cable conversion. The other cable in addition to the TV cable and throttle cable is the cruise control cable. So far I think the V6 is different than the V8 one, but I'm going to try and make the V6 one work.

You need the 5.0 throttle valve cable (kickdown).
