Don't quote me on that, but I'm almost positive all Novas up til 70 used a throttle rod. I don't recall any, even the 4 and 6 cylinder cars having a cable until the 70 model production. 70 Yenko Deuce guys may be able to confirm this. I would sure be of interest in knowing this for sure. Thanks guys and sYc!

My 68 Nova is an original 6 cyl car that looked to be unmolested when I bought it and it has a cable on it.??????

Post Throttle linkage...

The throttle rod was used on all BB Novas [68-70]...the factory made several changes mid-year in 70 and starting around Jan 1, 70 all the cars came with a throttle cable.

I know the 6 cyl cars used a cable as well...
