my choke cable on my 65 2bbl is very hard to push/pull.
is there something i can try to remedy this or should i just get a new cable? if so where is the best place to get one?

Attack from both ends. Depending on how much time and patience you have remove the cable and tie in vertical position in garage and lube and free up the cable. Reinstall.
Yes you can free it up. Likely gritted up with dust and dirt. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 313 | Pulling the knob while stepping on the gas pedal is recommended by the owner's guide.
It works for me in my 1966 C10 with a 2bbl carburetor. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 21 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 21 | I had the same problem, the cable could be one issue which lubing it will take care of that but you should also check the carburetor with the choke cable unhooked and moving the choke lever by hand to see if it's sticking some and if it is you can lube it as will. | | |
