Anybody know where I can find the plastic clip that fits over the rod on the accelerator cable and into the throttle body. Probably some 40 cent part that is attached to a more expensive part but I can find it.

Any one help?

Thank you

What kinda car. On a 50 motor they are part of the cable. It snaps on. There's no clip.

Yes, it is a 1990 50. The plastic clip is part of the cable? I busted mine changing the throttle body. Can I replace just the plastic clip?

Are you talking about the little push pin thing that you push into the underside of the throttle body?

You mean the tan piece?



Not sure about that one.

Possibly, I remember the thing being plastic. If I remember right, the the rod that goes through the throttle body has a bulge on the end like the head of a dick. Then this thing goes over that to secure the cable in place. I am using a cotter pin and it works fine for keeping the cable in, it just has a lot of play in it becuase of the gap between the rod and the hole it goes through. I just feel it is affecting my throttle response.

No it isn't the tan piece, I believe it is on the other side of that piece. There are two cables that run to the throttle. The is the bottom, there is another one that sits more towards the side.

I believe he's talking about the attachment for the OD kickdown cable.
I dont know where to get it though.

Provided it's an auto, that hasn't been established yet.

oops....I jumped to conclusions there.
So is it a manual or auto?
