Correct accelerator Cable?

[Fiat88]

Went to replace the accelerator cable today and noticed that the new one is shorter in length then the one I have on my car. Wondering if they sent me the correct one or not. Does the automatic trans cars use a different cable? What's the usual length of the cable? Thx.

I'd say they sent you the wrong cable

Mark,
Here's an old pic of my engine bay before I replaced the timing belt, coolant hoses and such. Does the cable I have on look right or too long?

[So Cal Mark]

it looks about right, could be a tad shorter but you have to allow for engine movement under load

I guess they sent me the wrong then because it's much shorter. I'll double check tomorrow.
