Default Accufab throttle cable is now loose!!

MAN OOO MAN !!!Mr Murphy just wont leave me alone on this build guys LOL I installed my brand new accufab throttle body the other day but fired it today and notice that my throttle cable is loose as **** Did they send me a 98 TB instead of the 00 to 02 that i ordered!! I notice when i ordered it it had two diffrent part and year numbers Did the earlyers LS1 tbs stick out further then the newer 02s Its the only thing i can think of Its a good 1/2"or more of slack in the TB cable itself!!

98 and 99 TB's use a smaller side plate, where the cable attaches. If you have one then your cable will probably be too long.
