Just saw the post.
I have a 92 Firebird and I modified the factory cables to fit the First throttle body.

Re: First throttle body linkage

Hope you are able to open these photos.
I crimped an extension on to the transmission "kick down" cable.
The throttle cable connector is from an auto parts store.
The factory cruise control cable will work with a little rerouting.
I made the spacers out of nylon tubing.
Good luck with your project!
Any questions e-mail me direct at: cgmweber@yahoo. com
