I have the same intake with a Weber 45 DCOE carb. I bought a cable bracket that mounts to the four small bolts under the float bowl (I think I got it at racetep.com). The bracket came with a cable clamp that fit through the stock hole in the Weber throttle arm. This made mounting any cable very simple. For the actual cable, I just used a rear brake cable from one of my old motorcycles.

Not familiar with the intake set up, but the TII throttle cable is the longest one. It wraps around the front of the engine and connects to the backside of the tb from the passenger side.

How i fixed this prob on my car was to get a go-kart throttle cable, had the correct end for the gas pedal and was a snap, ran the new cable through the fire wall and used a set screw on the carb. The choke cable was more of a problem, ended up using a bicycle brake cable for that this was all for a 45 DCOE with the lake cities style manifold

T][ cable is the longest of the bunch. I heard to use it too.

I have the same manifold and i took the stock cable to a cable shop and had them make a longer one.
