Question TCI TV cable kit

I have the TCI TV correction kit for Holley. Everything is good except the throttle cable. It doesn’t attach to their hardware, or I am missing something.
Or do I need an aftermarket cable ?
Thank you.

Here are few pic. I don’t see how the supplied brackets attach stock cable. I did call TCI, didn’t have much information for me. Anyone use this kit, how or what cable did you use.

I'm not sure about the TCI setup,and your pics are vague.
On my past, I've used the original throttle cable,bracket and mounting stud, installed the correction bracket to the carb using the throttle cable mounting stud in the top mounting hole, then mounted to TV cable bracket to the manifold then installed and adjusted the cable
In your picture, mount your original throttle stud in the top hole and use it to secure the bracket to the carb.

Just need a newer throttle bracket that has a th350 kick down square hole for your TV cable then adjust at WOT per instructions. Jegs used to sell a bolt on kick down bracket to bolt to yours, but I haven't looked in a while

I have the TV bracket. The issue is the throttle cable mounting. Out stock cable clamps on. Brackets provided are newer clip in style or thread on lock nut, stock cable does neither. Probably just get a Lokar cable or modify something to accept the stock cable.

A 72_76 Pontiac throttle bracket will bolt to those two bosses on your intake perfectly. Ames has repop brackets for the square style stock throttle cable. You want to run a stck cable vs lawnmower hook up?
