Default Lengthening the throttle cable after TB spacer

Just installed a Street Performance and Electronics Inc throttle body spacer, and as suspected pedal travel is now in the top range and the throttle's open. I received this in a swap so I'm instructionless, how do I go about lengthening/taking the tension off the throttle cable to return to idle and normal throttle range? Cheers and thanks folks.

If I were you I would take off that spacer and spend your money on something that will actually give you horsepower. Not to be rude, but those things are worthless.

Not rude at all, I knew I'd get this response sooner or later. Thing is the intake I got as a swap deal came with the spacer and is shortened to work with it, seeing as I don't imagine the spacer is going to negatively effect things (I doubt any gains myself), I'm sticking with it as I wish to use this intake.

Cheers

It seems there's supposed to be a bracket to get to the cable's reach which I don't have.

i ran across the same problem. all i did was measure the difference and drilled a hole in the bracket and ran 1 through the bracket and the other was on the outside of it barely catching the end. i just put a washer on it and tighten it down
