yeah they are different I think the carb cable is shorter. better off getting lokar stuff to replace it.

Yes, the TPI cable is much longer than the carb cable.
You could try looping the TPI cable around to get it where it should be for the carb, but you would be better off getting a proper short cable.

The TBI cable will work fine as well - maybe get one cheaper than a brand new Lokar or something else.

I just swapped my 88 tpi 305 to a carbed 292 and kept my stock throttle cable specter makes an adapter that lets the stock cable more or less clip in.
