Default Throttle cable to carb

Is there supposed to be some sort clip that holds the throttle cable onto the carb?

I took my carb off and rebuilt it about a month ago, but I don't remember removing any sort of clip (nor can I find one).

I just don't know how the throttle cable is going to stay attached without some sort of clip.

I should mention its a '79 with the stock q-jet.

Thanks

Clip available at most auto supply stores. Just tell the person you need that clip thingy that holds the cable on the carb and they will know what you want.
