[T3] throttle cable

[Phil Hof]

AT and stick may use different cable part numbers.  There was some confusion
when I got one for my '71 stick.  I think the auto was the correct length!
So some catalogs may be wrong.  I'm not sure if I discussed this here or on
the Samba, but there is some history and length measurements.  I suggest you
measure your old one carefully, and note what part of each end matters
dimensionally. For example, longer total length isn't important as long as
the metal end pieces mesh correctly where clamped or held.

Also, the new cable came with a red plastic sleeve at the front, maybe 1.5"
long.  I was advised to leave it on.  It slides into the metal conduit.  But
I am wondering why it was not on the original, and what happens if it gets
stuck there next time I replace the cable?

Any thoughts?
