Short Accelerator Cable

I hope I'm not repeating a question, I've search and haven't found my answer here on the forums but,
My '66 with the 352 uses a accelerator cable that is aprox 13 long. I can find replacements all over but they are 20 inches long.
The P/N for the 20 incher is C5TZ-9A758-AH.
Anybody know the P/N for the short one? Mine appears to be original.

Thanks

The throttle cable does pass through the firewall to connect to the gas pedal. Are you taking that length into account? All the 352s in 1965/66 F100/250 2WD trucks should use the same cable. I have an NOS cable that will work fine for my truck and it's the same length as the reproductions. There is no other part number but the one.

I think I had my dumb-*** hat on this AM when I measured. Seems I have about 3 inches on the inside and about 15 inches on the engine side.
15 + 2.5 = 18 and that's pretty close to 20 inches.
So the C5TZ-9A758-AH would be the one.
Is the Dennis Carpenter reproduction part 20 inches?.

Mea Culpa

Thanks for the reply

Give me a few and I'll take a picture of the NOS next to the Carpenter reproduction. They are nearly identical.

Top is my original, middle is NOS and bottom is Carpenter reproduction. I haven't measured the length since they are all the same or close enough to not be an issue. I can if you'd like me to.

They sure look close enough for me. I thank you for the time and help.
I'm headed to DC and spend my hard earned cash
