My cable broke today (ball at pedal) and has always seemed a bit short. With a M1 intake and Andy F's bracket I was just able to get it to reach with a bit of slack at the carb but between the bracket and firewall it's pulled as tight as it'll go.
So my question is what cable to replace it with? Is there a Mopar, longer than stock cable that'll work on a 67 B body, or should I just use aftermarket?

I’m thinking Lokar makes one that will fit properly.
It really doesn't matter whether you win or lose… as long as you look good doing it!

The /6 cables were the longest so you can try one of those. First step is to measure your old cable and then take a look at what is available for reproduction cables. Mancini Racing has a bunch of throttle cables for sale. Link. https://www.manciniracing.com/hemthrotcab.html
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

That is my "go-to" along with the AR Engineering bracketry for correct alignment.

What motor came in the car originally? I've had throttle pedal issues in the past when swapping motors from a SB 2 barrel motor or even a B motor two barrel motor to a four barrel carb and intake. The six cylinder cars are a snap to reuse their throttle cables on almost any V8 without a six pack intake on them The six pack cables need to be a lot shorter than the stock six cylinder throttle cables their are two different types pf stock throttle cables, probably early and later
