Choke cables, revisited

  • The grommet, p/n 352963-S, is documented on page 46 and 47 in the 1965 Ford Standard and Utility Parts Catalog (January 1965) published by Jim Osborn Reproductions (AM0202). From my research, the only Mustang application is 1964 thru 1967 "K" cars with manual chokes. I can't find choke cables listed in the Car Parts manuals, so it may not have been serviced.

  • The January 1965 Ford parts and accessories catalog shows Control Assy. Carburetor Choke B Special(with 4/B carb.)C50Z 9700-A 58.00" long-7/16-14 thread, F Special C5ZZ 9700-B 63.00" long and F Special C5ZZ 9700-C. The C5ZZ 9700-C has no lengh deminisions in the catalog. It appears that both B and C were in service in 1965. The January 1966 parts catalog shows F Special C5ZZ 9700-C 57.62" long 7/16-14 thread only. The A and B are not present in the 1966 book. I hope this helps.

    Yes, same info I posted earlier in this thread. The C5OZ is a Fairlane application for those wondering. I have a feeling that the later -C Mustang version is the same as the Fairlane cable. I can't imagine 1/2" making any difference whatsoever in a choke cable nearly 5 feet long!

    a clip

    to hold the cable attached to the shock tower to fire wall

    brace on the passenger side.

    The clip appears to be the same one that holds the parking light wire at the front of the car and the gas tank sending unit wire under the car near the sending unit.

    Anyone have a picture of exactly where this clip is attached? my car doesn't have one......

  • I have an April 1965 Ford MPC. It lists the following:


    65 F (Special) before 6-1-64. C5ZZ-9700-B. 63.06" long.

    65 F (Special) from 6-1-64. C5ZZ-9700-C. 57.62" long - 7/16"-14 thread.

    65 B Special. C5OZ-9700-A. 58.00" long - 7/16"-14 thread.


    C5ZZ-9700-B was replaced by C5ZZ-9700-C. (There is no C5ZZ-9700-A listing.)


    As for brackets, there was a C4ZZ-9A700-A which was interchanged (MW - which I interpreted as "make work") with C5ZZ-9A700-A. Both have the same C4ZB engineering number.


    Keep in mine that 6-1-64 is about the date that the 289 HiPo was introduced into the 64½ Mustang, so very few of the -B cables would have been used, although they might have wound up on the assembly manuals, since they were printed earlier. Both the -B and -C part numbers carry a C4ZB engineering number, meaning both were 64½ origin.

  • This is good stuff. The choke cable on my hipo was mounted on the left when I got the car in '98. I misinterpreted a thread on the forum a few years ago and relocated it under the ignition switch. I always wondered what the clip on the export brace was for. Now I have another project.....to relocate the choke back to the left side. Thanks guys!
