To conclude this cable issue.........the problem was just as 84 W40 Member said.............no matter what the website said is the right cable,
when it won't fit, IT WON'T FIT. There was no way I was going to get the travel through any adjustments suggested by others.
The CA-1102 and the CA-1150 are the WRONG cables for the Hurst Dual Gate.,
The correct cable is ATP-Y116.
The Pioneer cables Ca-1102 and CA -1150 both were priced from $30 to $45.
The ATP cable I purchased through Summit for $17.
I installed it and found the eyelets to be the correct size for the anchor pins..........The Pioneer cables needed drilled out a tiny bit,
The cable once anchored left the eyelets exactly positioned to where Park was easy to place on the shifter AND the transmission lever.
All gears are now available and the operation is smooth.

Same cable is 10 bucks on Rockauto. It's kind of funny because according to the cross-reference charts, the Pioneer CA1102 is supposed to be the same cable as the Y116. And neither one correspond to GM's dual gate cable number. GO FIGURE! Poor bastards using ATP Y116 for their regular Cutlass shifters are cursing like a **** about them not fitting....
But, there you go, kids. This is exactly what happens when you are stuck with having to deal with aftermarket "non" fitment issues. Several days of garbage grabbing and tweaking a POS aftermarket Chinesium part and all it does is teach you new ways to say "MOTHER F****" . It's a situation I'll likely and luckily never have to face. I got a handful of all the GM cables needed for all my cars.
ATP-Y116 is something to put away for knowledge base.

Wow you just couldn't let me have this moment.............I bet you put the "FUN" in funerals..........................
AND I didn't pay for shipping with Summit...........and Rockauto makes you pay........so weiner weiner chicken dinner I WIN.
Wow. All I ever did was try to help you in your car adventure. I see you have surpassed the need of any further help from me. Good luck with your car, sir. Over and out.
Come on......................I was just kidding with you..................I just shared with another forum member what a great help you are.........
seriously that post was ALL in jest.......................
I thought I was being funny but I guess I missed the mark.................Sorry, I APOLOGIZE
To quote Captain Hook, 'Good form!'
You're not the only one who has mis-gauged an exchange.
I just received the Pioneer. CA-1150 for my Hurst Olds 1979. I hooked the two eyelets up, one to the trans lever, and one to the shifter lever and
thought peas of cake.
Well, the shifter will not go past neutral. I wont force it. When I'm down at the transmission lever, the transmission lever
runs through all gears but the cable does not give enough travel at that end to allow it to go through all the gears.
Go up and try the shifter, stops at neautral. What the.....................
No adjusting nuts so nothing to adjust. What's the deal................?????????????????? I am beaten........
on my own is beginning to grow very thin..........
I had the same issue ended up just removing old shifter all together and replacing with B&M Z-Gate and B&M cable. Problem solved....
