Default Cruise control cable??

I just had my zz 383 crate engine installed, and it looks great!
Where do I find the right cable for the cruise control? I went from a Crossfire to a carburetor and the old cable will not work.
Any ideas from people that have done this conversion?
Here are some pics.....

Nice job on the engine, Beutious!!
I will continue to watch this, as I have the same problem, my cruise has been disconnected at the carb for 2 years now. Hopefully someone will chime in.

I just installed a new ZZ4 with a 650 Speed Demon. I can take a picture of my cruise connection if it is of any help. Let me know.

I just drilled a hole below the throttle linkage and bolted my original Quadjet cruise stud in. I am using part of the original bracket from the Quadjet carb as well so that I could use my original accelerator and cruise control cables.

Why not install a diaphram servo from a 77-81 that mounts to the rear of drivers head. All you need is the bracket,diaphram and the rod to connect to carb.
