700-r4 to Lm7 TV Cable for DBC EFI

My lm7 swap is "complete" minus the TV cable. I know they have to be adjusted just right or the trans dies early but I can't find where to get one. I would assume the original one that went to a carb will not work because it is not long enough to reach the throttle body? I've seen a lot of threads that mention Bowtie Overdrives but no part number or anything. Stock truck throttle body and intake btw.

So it turns out the TV cable does come out on the correct (passenger) side it was just routed behind the engine. it is a few inches too short though. I saw a picture where someone extended the connection on the throttle body to make a short cable work. I'll get some pics.

Not to bring to life a dead thread from 3 years ago, but the cable wire from a 3rd gen 2.8 l is exactly long enough. If you have a drive-by cable throttle body, take the cruise control mount, flip it around and it is exactly the right length.
