Throttle upgrade-Formula 242LS

I have a restored 1983 Formula 242 LS and would like to upgrade the throttle. It has a new 350mag engine. Any recommendations on a new throttle?

Thanks

If you have the room go with a shifter with two levers, foward,reverse and throttle. Look in the swap shop they come up now and than, and you will need new cables.
