I believe I have an incorrect throttle cable on my 68 Dart GTS 340. Can anyone tell me that the length should be from the firewall forward?

Yes it is looped to make it work. Looks like the distance between the bracket and carb in too long because it is barely in the clamp. I checked on the bracket and it is correct.

If it's looped, you have a slant six cable, they are the longest.

The one Classic Ind lists for a 340 A body is 19" long.

That's what I need to know. Thanks for the info. Looks like the one @ Classic industries is on backorder. Will try to locate a nice used one or try another supplier.
