Mixture cable for 170B with Avcon conversion

My mixture cable broke today, looking for the part number, I think mine was the wrong cable or not setup correctly, because was very hard to make the engine quit when I pulled the mixture, and always Had to pull really hard for the engine to quit.
I have the Avcon conversion with the Lycoming O360.

Anyone has the part number for that mixture cable, I would appreciate it.

Suggest a call to McFarlane. Their vernier mixture controls have lined sleeves and operate very smoothly. Can customize the length to precisely fit your installation routing.

I called McFarlane, they dont know which part number it is, they told me they probably have one that fits, and its better option to find the part number, as a las resort it will have to be removed to see the length and have it custom built. (too long of a wait since my mechanic wont be here until next week).

I assumed your Mixture Cable point of attachment at carburetor would be same as on my O-360 on PA-18A where one can remove the core and shorten a longer than required mixture control cable to custom fit to your desired routing.

Don't the STC installation paperwork or drawings specify a p/n and/or or length of that mixture cable?
