Small block cable is 19 3/4 total length
Stock big block 440 is?
Stock Hemi 426 is?

I thought I read the 440 and 426 are the same length?
 
They are not The same length and nothing will work but the correct hemi one. I had it sent 2nd day air And didn’t measure it.
Hemi is shorter. The long ones will not fit.

the hemi is shorter because of where the primary carb is, it to the rear of the engine. So is the bracket. And the head is very close to the firewall, no room to loop that long cable.
I tried to make others work and they were not.

bought the correct cable and $100 bux later it’s all done just like that.

here is a measurement chart, click the chart.

Years ago I swapped a 383 for a 440 and there were no issues with the cable but that probably was one with the square plastic firewall end.

Checked AZ last night and they carry no such part now.
 
Just for general info............ I have a good throttle cable off a 66 coronet that had a slant 6.
If anyone needs it for a tunnel ram install ect I will just give it to them, I will never use it.
