Default Which throttle cable to use (ITB's)?

I have a 1990 CRX Si, with a DOHC.

I have the old style TWM throttle linkage. Which throttle cable should I use? I currently have an ITR one and it is way too long. I basically need less play between the bracket (where it mounts) and the hook where the cable links to. TIA

I should have asked this before I (tried) to install it, because my cable was way too long. All that work for nothing, instead of ITB's I still have the P73 manifold with a stock TB. Any help is appreciated.

I had that problem on my car (88 dx w/b16)
I cut about 2" out of my itr throttle cable.
I reconnected it with an electrical coupling and hit it with the solder gun.

The electrical coupling will if done right. i used a 10 ga spade connector. Cut the spade off.
The coupling is more than enough. Solder is extra insurance.
