Default transmission detent cable

HI

Working on a 74 Corvette w/ 350SBC and t350 transmission and rodchester quadrajet and need to hook up the detent cable.

However, the brackets i have position the cable to far back so i need to fabricate my own for it to reach the throttle. what exactly does the detent cable do? Whats the procedure for adjustment on it?
THANKS

Just pull up on the tab on the cable where it mounts to the bracket, pull the throttle wide open as far as it will go and then just push the tab back down to lock it.
