Throttle cable clip

Looking for the cable retaining clip that mounts on the drivers side intake runner between the 2 front and 2 rear tubes.

ETA: This is for an '89 IROC L98. Looking for the 3-wire loom, not the 4-wire loom.

Re: Throttle cable clip

Thanks for the information. Like the member in the first link you posted, I am looking for the 3-loom clip and not the 4-loom clip. I will contact Beth - she has helped me out in the past.

Re: Throttle cable clip

Unless your throttle cable runs naturally, very close to the stud in question, the tension of the throttle cable will just pop the keeper open anyway. That's just one part of the reason they're often gone. FWIW. It stings a bit when you search and finally find, snap it into place, then a few weeks later you notice the cable has popped out, and then keeps popping out. So then you try another one, and it happens again.

Thanks for the warning.

Mine was broken when I bought the car, so I will try a replacement if I can find one. If that doesn't work I guess I'll just live with it as is or find another solution.
