when you say "weird end" do you mean the pedal end or the end that connects to the carb? I've searched the net and found pics of some listed for mutiple years and the end that connects to the carb looks the same...the little u-shaped clip that is permantly attached.

AndyF...you have a 65 don't you? What setup are you using?

There are dozens of throttle cable lengths if not more. The Master Parts books shows a different cable for almost every engine combination every year. Some engineer kept busy designing new cables every year for some reason.

The issue with the '65 throttle cables is that they have a weird end on the cable. You aren't going to find any of those cables for sale at the usual places, you have to get them built special. Or, swap over to the later style of gas pedal which is a hassle in itself.
