Default BP4W Head Swap help! -Car needed for wedding

BP4W head swap has taken longer than expected. I have my wedding this Saturday and got it running today just very poorly, working on that but main question!

NA Miata Throttle cable seems too long to work with the NB head and intake manifold. Amen I doing something wrong? Any help is advised! I won't have time to order an NB cable.

Thanks

Correct, it is too long, you'll need an NB cable. In the short term, try something like this:

You'll have to cut the end off your NA cable, then tighten one of these on. No promises it won't slip out though. I've also seen electrical splices/eyelets/etc crimped onto a cable in a pinch.

I used the NA cable with the FM conversion brackets. Initially I used modded NA brackets which worked.
