Throttle Cable

Have you guys found a throttle cable that works on our trucks that is an inch or two shorter and has the newer style square piece where it mounts at the carb/intake? My original on the '72 is round and most brackets are square. The reason I ask is I have put in a 350 engine with an air gap intake, 1 inch spacer, and demon carb and the cheap spectre throttle bracket is not working. I am also trying to hook up a 700r4 trans tv cable. The throttle cable seems to be too long and the tranny is too short. Anyone found a throttle and trans cable with bracket combo that works with my set up? At this point I'm willing to spend some money on something that works nice and looks good but I don't want to modify the firewall or gas pedal. I'm not a fan of half **sinig the throttle cable. I've had too many dangerous close calls because of that.
