Help with throttle cable problems

I have gone through 3 different throttle cables, CI, Mopar and Mancini in 2 years.
The car is a 69 Dart, 408 (360) Edelbrock RPM performer manifold, Fast EFI, stock throttle cable bracket and stock length throttle cable.
It seems that the cable is too kinked going from the EFI to the firewall.
What is everyone using? Is there a shorter cable available? Raise the bracket?

I was trapped on a busy street and to idle home, got it to idle at 1400 but it was not pretty
