Default Throttle cable mount to carb swapped 1990

hey yall, you might have seen my many cries for help on this forum over the last year, and once again I'm back with yet another question. I have a 1990 base model c4 carb swapped with a Holley 600 with vacuum secondaries. my throttle cable is currentle held on by zip ies and is way too long so I have to tuck the extra cable behind the motor with the wire harness. Does anyone know if I can replace the cable entirely with a shorter aftermarket one (is that even a thing?) or at least know of a way to attach the stock cable end to a carb throttle bracket?
thanks

This is mine. Cheap throttle cable bracket from Summit. Stock 88 throttle cable.....works fine.

Its a Holley, but same principle....you have to drill out the end of the cable slightly to 1/4" i believe it was..

I tried a few shorter factory GM cables but ended up using the original TPI cable. The carb mount position is too offset and to close to the firewall.
