No, you don't need to change the throttle cable...but you will need to modify the throttle bracket to clear the back of the carb. There are some little braces or something on the back of them that hit the bracket. You can either clearance the bracket or clearance the carb...I prefer the bracket over a newly purchased carb.
I have used 1" steel plate to make an adapter bracket that clears the carb and bolts in the factory location...then drill holes for the factory bracket in the adapter plate and bolt them together. Just an idea that has worked for me.

The cars running right now, everythings pretty much stock besides the 4bbl carb, I'm lookin to take it one step at a time...starting from the rear end switching gears up to posi 3.42 adding dual exhaust and headers then work my way towards the engine/tranny hopefully be able to lay some rubber down soon. It also needs body work. Are you lookin to do a stock rebuild or wake up the good ol 350?!
