I don't have a picture handy, but it goes around the half moon piece. The cable should have a tip on it that fits in the slot.

Thanks, but not being familiar with C4's I still don't know what I need, that's why a picture would really help. Do you know if those parts are even available? All that is left is the cable wire, not attached to anything.

Wow, can't believe no one can take a picture of the throttle linkage on a 91 Corvette, Also can't believe this is the first time this has happened to someone!

Thanks TA, but I need a close up of the throttle cable connector as it attaches to the throttle plate. All we have is the cable, but don't know how it attaches and it seems no one sells a new cable so we need to improvise.

From top to bottom: TV cable, throttle cable, cruise control cable.

At the left side of the half moon there is a slot. The cable has a small T at the end that fits in that slot. You can see a bit of it poking out.

Have you tried Vette2Vette, Mirrock, the usual suspects? There's a junkyard about 75 miles from me that finds parts. Surely there's a decent junkyard somewhere near you. I have not had this problem and cannot provide the answers you seek.
