Is there such thing as a chart, or something, that gives the length on both the cable, and housing?

Gotta re-measure my one good cable for numbers. My problem is no idea what Mopar that cable fits, but for my set-up, it's good.

The deal is 64 Sport Fury, but my 8 3/4 rear is off a 67 Coronet, and 11 1/2" drum brakes. Years ago bought a set of rear cables. Don't remember from where, and I 'think' for a 64 Plymouth. Never thought about it, but one housing length was shorter, giving 4" of cable past the mount bracket.
After some checking, found the 'wrong' cable, is correct for the 64. But, for my set-up, won't work, since the housing is too long.

Bottom deal using the set of cables I have, won't reach the adjuster enough to fasten it. Only by an inch, or two.
Need another cable with the shorter (18") housing. 64 cable has a 20" housing.
 
Nothing? Hunt and peck. Cable 29"...housing (flange to flange) 18".

Just don't know what kinda car it's for.
 
FIXED...by cutting 2" off the 20" housing.

Never found another cable like my other.
