Just follow back all the linkage from the butterfly valve, where it hooks onto the carb. I mean the thing that moves when you press on the gas. The TV cable would be attached to that same lever. You'll know it's the TV cable because it turns from a cable into a rectangle, and goes into a funky looking black box with a metal "D" button on the side.

If you don't have cruise, there should be at least one more cable going to the carb, other than the gas pedal, and that'll be the TV cable.

Then read my advice about using white-out:

Then read MrJ's advice on TV cable readjustment:
