throttle cable location? ('59 235)

I'm completely carburetor ignorant and am trying to figure out where the throttle cable is supposed to attach to the carb. Both my throttle and choke cables were detached and seized when the truck was delivered but I've managed to figure out the choke. I think I can see where the throttle cable sheath is supposed to clamp behind the carb (vertically right near where the choke cable clamps?) but I can't figure out where the wire is supposed to hook on. I looked through the assembly manual but couldn't find anything that pointed to the location of the cables. Does anyone have a picture of the cable locations?

Here's what I've got at present if this helps at all


Also an aside, my truck didn't have a throttle return spring so I picked one up but couldn't find the factory hook location at the bottom end, so I just hooked it to the lip of the oilpan, is this right on the 59's?



Thanks!
Alden
