Okay, so let's jump back to where we left off.
The throttle cable between the pedal and the cruise control module. I executed the idea I described above in a slightly different fashion. Apparently, getting a hold of coupling nuts in the specified thread and pitch is harder than I thought. So I used a Nylon spacer. Rigid but easy enough to shape. If I ever have to do this again, I'd use a metal spacer just so it looks cleaner. The pictures you'll see below are perfectly functional, just not terribly pretty.
This next bit was just undesirable all around but a necessary evil: Replacing the timing covers that had been oil saturated and ground by the pulleys on the engine.
$328 later...
