Hmmm.... I could splice them at the firewall and then run it all the way over to the carb and hook up in the traditional manner. I had not considered a splice, I had thought of a bellcrank mounted over by the heater box ,OR a bellcrank on the firewall and just running the detent cable straight to the pedal.
Adjustment of cable is a problem with that idea.
Thanks geezer, for the idea

It sure runs better and accelerates smoother and quicker and the cable is a major improvement over the old stiff throttle linkage
