Default linkage for a 71 firebird

hey all

I'm sure i'm not the only one having this problem. I need to replace the linkage on my firebird and I can't seem to find any replacements anywhere. Just wondering what other people have done in this situation and where might one find a replacement?

Shifter lockout?

Jeez I guess I shoulda thought about that post before I sent it. It's the throttle cable i'm looking for, sorry about that.

here is a viable option that works. If originality isnt a must, grab a whole pedal assembly and the cbale from a 78 firebird V-8. file off the added clip ends and put it in your square hole. the 78 style pedal brings the cable in the car further and less pinching. I probably have a 71 cable but I really like the way the 78 works in mine.
