Does something go here on my throttle linkage?

Just as the title states... I have an open stud on my throttle linkage. I don't think anything goes to it, but I just thought I would ask to make sure. I apparently don't have pictures of that area to confirm it.

Stock quadrajet on a stock 400sbc with a stock TH400 transmission. I know the TH400s have a kickdown switch by the gas pedal, but I wasn't sure if they had another linkage going to the stud on the carb throttle linkage.

That's is for a 700R4 TV cable or a TH350 Kick down cable. The TH400 does not utilize that.

Jep, TV/Detent Cable. That's the correct geometry for the 700r4 too.

Yet another satisfied customer.
