Default Right e-brake cable? (89 accord LX coupe)

So I bought a cheap car as a spare/fixer, a 1989 honda accord LX coupe (5spd), with a 4cyl Fuel Injected engine.

I was reading about this generation of accords, and it seems like the LX for this year was normally carbureted? Also, my LX has fixed headlights, not the pop-up style headlights. I read something about other markets outside north america might have the same body style??

Anyway, I have no clue. I don't know if the engine was swapped, or anything, really. I just need to try to figure out what e-brake cable would fit, since some sites show me slightly different results?

Anywhere I can look for sure?

There's also this mysteriously disconnected cable in the bottom right of the engine compartment floating around, that is connected to the throttle. There's a little bit of space there, but I would have no idea what'd be originally connected.

If anyone could tell me ANYTHING, it'd be appreciated.

Ha, after looking up the vin I just realized I have a 1990 accord. The seller thought it was an 89, and I assumed as such. Sorry for the hassle! I will post up pics of the engine bay when I get a chance to figure out what's the spare loose cable.

I was gonna say, 3g's had the flip up lights and lx was carb model.

anyways... i think 90-94 e-brake cable will work, go to any junk yard and try and find one in good condition.
