'71-'72 6cyl. Throttle Cable Questions

Wow!!! I didn't realize how what a pain it would be to get a replacement throttle cable for my truck. I have a '71 c10, 292 6 cyl., 4 spd trans. and I need a thottle cable. The carb end is a female "ball" type. My carb is a Rochester Mono Jet 1 barrel.

Here are my questions:

1. Are the cables for the small block applications the same as the 6 cyl. cables?
2. Are the 6 cyl. cables shorter?
3. Where can I buy the exact cable I need (I really don't want Lokar unless its really necessary)?

I know I could probably make another cable work but I really want the exact item if possible.

I'd even settle for used but I don't know what to look for at this point.


Thanks for the help!!
