You need a little ball stud to screw into the throttle arm of the carb. Or, you can buy a different style throttle cable.

Shoulda bought a Holley, though. They come with those parts, make more power, and get better fuel mileage.

ok, basically my problem is that I was not sent a "baggy of goodies" so I have no ball to connect it to, no air cleaner stud, no plug for the back, and no vacumn plug...so tmw...well later today now, I will be calling and placing orders and handling some of these new challenges
