    '68 Tac Cable too short

    My car is a '68 Dec. '67 build date, 350hp-4 speed. I installed a new GM #3928769 tac cable (same length as original 19.5") but now when I try to connect under the dash it appears to be 2-3" too short. I'm not sure what to do, should I order a '69 cable (parts catalog lists at 23" long) or am I missing something? Thanks.

    Brian, Do you have the Distributor installed as shown on sheet H191 of the assy manual?

          I don't understand this. You say you installed a cable that is 19.5" long and the same length as the original. However, are you saying that the 19.5" long cable, which is the same length as the original, is now 2-3" too short?

            That's correct Joe. I'm missing something, not sure what it is. I'll get back under the dash tomorrow and see if I can see something wrong.

              Special thanks to Joe and Jeff, I got it. I had the cable routed through the wrong port. All is well in Corvette Land...until next time.
