Default BBK TB install?

I just purchased a BBK 58mm TB for my 90 TPI and have zero idea how the throttle cable is going to hook up to it. The stock TB had a crescent moon shaped thing that cradled the cable and this new one does not. What am I missing!!?

No idea. Mine went in fine. Are you missing a piece?

My 58mm BBK came with additional parts to allow the TB to be mounted to engines that have different cable hook-ups.

I think I just figured it out. I think I have one for a pre-88 car. Is there any way to make it fit?

At the bottom of the page there is a pic of two TBs. Mine looks like the one on the right and the new one looks like the one on the left.
