The issue
CERTAIN 1976 MODEL FORD AND LINCOLN-MERCURY VEHICLES ARE EQUIPPED WITH ACCELERATOR CABLES THAT INCORPORATE A STAMPED FITTING AT THE DASH PANEL ATTACHMENT LOCATION. THE SUSPECT CABLE ASSEMBLIES CONTAIN FITTINGS IN WHICH THE BUSING SHOULDER RETAINING BEAD IS OVER SIZED WHICH MAY CAUSE THE BUSHING TO DISLODGE DURING FULL ACCELERATION. A DISLODGED BUSHING COULD HOLD THE CARBURETOR AT A HALF-OPEN THROTTLE POSITION.
