Throttle cable question.....
On my 77 Cheyenne the throttle cable doesn't have any kind of clip to hold it on. Is this normal, or not?
It takes quit a bit of pushing to get it far enough down the slot, to remove it. I just can't remember if there should be any type of keeper on it?

It would seem that it couldn't come off. I know the kick down cable has a clip, I just can't remember if the throttle cable should have the same type of clip or not...

the linkage in the yellow box is the kickdown cable, the throttle cable is the one above it

Canadian-Ron, you are 100% correct. I guess I have had my head in the paint fumes to long. I got that all backwards.
OK, now that I have been corrected, does the kickdown cable need a retainer clip???

No because it is like a slider on a door chain. It has a larger hole for the circle to go into but will not slide out of the travel part.
