The difference is ... he has a 4 speed and you have an automatic. On the 4 speed, the bolt goes into a threaded sleeve that the throttle cable passes through and the bolt snugs up against the end of the cable's solid end. On the automatic, the "Pin" that the throttle cable passes through doesn't grab the cable at all. that's accomplished at the end of the throttle cable's spring with a little "keeper". I haven't looked yet but maybe a bolt/sleeve thingy from a 4 speed could be used in the automatic ... then (maybe using a longer bolt) ... you could put a small washer and nut on in such a way that the bolt doesn't contact the cable but could be tightened up to the "Pin" leaving room for the ball chain connector. Just a quick thought. Mike
