my first question would be did you remove the cable yourself? if they pulled it, it may have come from a Gen II and as I recall, the N/A cables are fairly short (whereas the T2 cables are crazy long).

anyway, photos might help. the stock Gen I cable will operate a Holley without issue. I can confirm that.

from the photo, it looks as though something might be missing from the carburetor. the problem is that i'm not sure and none of the photos that I have of my brother's car seems to show the cable side of his Holley.

for a shop in Jersey, look up Judge Ito's place. it's called Advanced Rotary Performance.
