Stupid question about hooking up Lokar throttle cable

I can tell you one thing about the Lokar cable. Make SURE that you slide a piece of vacuum hose over it if it goes anywhere near you bulkhead connector. I was at the Mopar Nats 2 years ago and cruising Brice road when my car went black. Knowing it's not a good thing to have your car go black I went out and looked under the car to see if the battery cable from the trunk had somehow shorted out, but it looked okay. It was about that time that someone said "dude you've got a fire under the hood". I removed the hood pins and had a guy almost break my hood trying to lift it off before all of the clips were loose. I see that the fire is small enough that the bottle of water in my car would put it out, but by the time I got it out of my car Smokey The Bear with his brand new fire estinguisher blasted my entire engine compartment YUK!!! We pushed the car into a lot and got a flashlight and found that the rocking of the engine caused the braided steel on the cable to rub through the main power wire at the bulkhead connector, and it wouldn't have been so bad because there is a fusable link there but it rubbed through the wrong side of the link.....and then the rain started LOL. Ya know don't you hate admitting that your wife was right? The last thing she said to me was "do you want to take this black tape?" I said well I think I have some in the tool box in the trunk but I'll take it anyway. We had to use almost all of the tape because the fire melted pretty much all of the wiring at the bulkhead connector. We also found that the little ball snapped off of the cable at the accelerator petal when I pressed on it to start the car. I wound up buying an entire harness at the track (it was junk too because although it was brand new whoever crimped the wires on did a crappy job they just kept pulling appart). I also had to buy a new Lokar cable and this time I slid vacuum hose over it. Just a little word of advice.
