Default Help!!! Throtle cable problem

Ok Im done with the build of my 347. I droped the motor in my car but ran into a problem. The throtle cable is hitting my tall valvecovers. There must be a simple fix. I used roller rockers that why im going with the tall valecovers. My car is fuel injected and I heard that you cant run tall valvecovers with injected car???

is it hindering the cable in any way? if it still works properly, i'd just leave it, unless you're going for a cleaner look.

Put a intake spacer on it. Thats whats on my car. be careful though because it may hit your hood.

it has an intake spacer already. I have a 3in cowl hood so not a problem on hitting the hood.
