a 58 Holley t/b question

I traded a guy a 52 t/b for a 58 holy t/b. when I put it on the throttle plates will not fully open, due to the cable is too long. it was fine on the 52 but after this 58 install the cable seems to be a inch to 1 1/2 too long. on a 95 firebird the cable is not ajustable. is there a different throttle cable different i can get? was wandering if the ls1 cables are adjustable and if they will fit a 95.
Thanks

I see the cable for a ASR unit is adjustable. I do not have it so any ideas. May have to make spacers for yjr cable inside near pedal. Anyone got any good ideas?

My 58mm Holley fit perfectly, with no adjustment of the throttle cable. If you have 1" to 1.5" too much cable length, almost sounds like the throttle shaft quadrent (the part the button on the cable fits into) is not positioned correctly.

Does your 58mm look like this (lloking at the quadrent where the cable attaches):

Those were a few pics I could find that showed the cable attachment.
