This weekend was a success! With the help of a friend, I finally installed my BBK throttle body, Belanger headers, and Belanger exhaust. The car sounds killer! I'm running into an issue with the throttle body though... the throttle cable seems to be misaligned with the guide on the throttle body.

The cable is straight where it runs from the manifold to the guide, but then comes down at an angle where the cable connects to the throttle body. Anything with a decent amount of throttle causes the cable to get caught on the top of the guide (the right upper point of the U-shape) and the throttle will stick open around 3k rpms. I have to pull over, pop the hood, and put the cable back into place to allow the revs to drop to idle. Any suggestions on how to straighten the cable out so it won't get stuck?
