Default How long is TPI kickdown cable?

I need a long kickdown (throttle valve, or TV) cable for my 3.8/700r4 combo. I was told that the TPI cables are the longest. Would anyone have one handy they could measure? I need the length of the sheath and the inner cable. Thanks.

I Was told if you get one for a 93 Lt1 They are longer becouse the lt1 comes more to the front of the car . I was going to get one for my Lt1 intake conversion . The only place I found them was the dealer , and they had to order it .

For the archives I'll answer my own question. I ordered a TV cable for a 1992 5.7 TPI. The housing is about 45" long and the cable is about 50".
