Post subject:  Throttle Cable End Clip At Accelerator Pedal End
Just converted my 65 Dart Throttle Rod Linkage to 67 and up Cable Throttle Linkage system.

It's functioning fine however I'm wondering if a clip is suppose to be used where the cable goes through the firewall into the bracket arrangement where the inner cable drops into the swinging arm. I have a rubber plug that retains the cable ball in the swing arm.

There are two grooves in the cable outside body that suggest a clip might go to hold the cable at the firewall.

Yes, if your have the 67-74 cable it has a circular clip that fits the grooves and retains the plug to the wall...75+ with the square plug uses a strip of metal through the plug to retain it.

Post subject:  Used E-Ring For Retainer
Thank you for the prompt response.

I found a 5/16 E-Ring which seemed to work as a retainer for the cable.

First, from under the hood, I held the cable in a position with cable so that it was perpendicular to the firewall and pulled up against the firewall/accelerator bracket.

Using needle nose pliers I was able to work the E-Ring into the outer slot from under the dash.

DI-Thank You for your help

Don

If it doesn't hold I think you can also look at 90's minivans and 80's K-cars for a similar clip that might work also.
