Bob, I am running a Indy intake with a 2" spacer and a Jegs throttle cable bracket in mine and it has the origional slant six cable,,as said earlier they are a little longer. 
Light travels faster than the speed of sound,,,this is why some people seem bright untill you hear them speak.

I prefer a cable BUT if you run fast enough its mandatory
to have a foot loop and hard rod... I use the Locar
the fastest cars in the world use a cable
i was under the impression all were required to have a toe clip though if i read this correctly a cable system is not required to have a toe clip...either way any throttle i use will have one.
NHRA general regulations read as follows
1:12 THROTTLE
Regardless of class, each car must have a foot throttle incorporating
a positive-acting return spring attached directly to the
carburetor/injector throttle arm. A positive stop or override prevention
must be used to keep linkage from passing over center and sticking
in an open position. In addition to return springs, some means of
manually returning the throttle to a closed position by use of the foot
must be installed on all altered linkage systems except hydraulically
or cable-operated systems. Per Class Requirements throttle control
must be manually operated by driver’s foot; electronics, pneumatics,
hydraulics, or any other device may in no way affect the initial throttle
operation. In Super Street, Super Gas, Super Comp, and certain
E.T. bracket classes, timed throttle stops are permitted that use
pneumatics and or electronics to modulate the throttle after initial
launch. Cable throttle systems permitted. NHRA-accepted hand
controls for the physically challenged permitted. Choke cables and
brazed or welded fittings on steel cable prohibited. No part of throttle
linkage may extend below framerails.

Have had a lot of problems with the Lokar cable..not a good grade of cable. good for a street rod.
Agree the cables fray. I replaced my lokar cable with a rod last year.

Pretty hard to PUSH a cable unless its BIG like on
my steering on my boat(which is 1/2" small diameter)...
but I could be wrong here

Morse cable, like a shifter...

Yes.. they are a contained housing over the inner...
but I think MOST of us have a free length of inner
cable exposed which if you try to push just flexes
as in the pic above.... granted I use a cable with
twin return springs per NHRA
