It seams my throttle cable is short, what did everyone else do for the throttle cable, or any suggestions?

you have to run the SR throttle cable over the valve cover for it to reach. Use the KA cable.

if your car is a SOHC car the KA cable just barely reaches(over the valve cover). The DOHC car the TB is in almost the same spot...

I have the same problem. it barely reached. I had to bend my bracket a bit.

for some reason the gas pedal sits higher now :( harder to heel and toe

LOL, i had the KA24DE and the cable was a little long. I had to make a bracket for it. I would suggest getting the KA24DE throttle cable and make 2 brackets for each screw holes..u know?

too weird.. some people its too long.. others its too short..

mine is odd. the cover is way too long but the cable was too short. I had to bend my bracket .. I'm getting used to having my pedal a little higher now.

I had to use the KA bracket and then I just bent the bracket down a bit, while keeping the throttle cable straight in line with the throttle body, worked pretty well.
