You need a throttle ball stud that fits in the small hole of the throttle palte. Available at most performance parts stores or Summit/Jegs. Here's a link with a pic..... http://www.holley.com/types/Throttle...ce%20Parts.asp

Check Summit or Jegs. They should have something that bolts to the Carb bolts for the throttle cable. Throttle cable bracket.


Take your pick.
