Accelorator cable differences

[AxlFoley]

this is my last question for the night, i need a new accelerator cable, but having looked on the just campers website, there are different ones, how do i know what one i need? its a 69 van with a 1500 engine.

it curently has this setup!!

Also whats the spacer for under the carb??

Think the spacer was used to clear an alternator if fitted IIRC.
The Left or right Handed driveness of your van will also make a difference to the accelerator cable length.
Think I have a new RHD pre 71 cable going spare if you want it, will check it out tomorrow.

Probably not, look like it will be too short:
