The Dodge VE pump throttle lever has a ball joint stud on it. From the throttle lever ball (vertical) to a bell crank ball (horizontal) is a throttle rod with ball end connectors. One end is right hand thread and the other is left. The purpose is for adjustability, Idle speed and automatic transmission throttle valve adjustment as well as optimal throttle travel. The cable has the stud quick disconnect and is connected to the bell crank ball. This whole bracket would solve a lot of headaches if your engine doesn't have one, TV valve and cruise control provision on it. Ebay for a used one or Cummins also has them last I checked. I could dig up the P/N's for the bracket(s), rod/ends, lever and bushings if someone would find it helpful. I photo of this assy would probably be worth the thousand words...
Cable end info FWIW,
The 89' Dodge Cummins throttle cable at one point was obsoleted, I needed one so I rebuilt the one I had. The outer sheath was fine so I bought a cable assy. from Napa that was longer than the old one(Dodge Motorhome), cut the end off and fed it into the old cable housing. Then I purchased a couple items for Control Cables, controlcables.com.
I used a threaded cable collet end for 1/16" cable,

This ended up having more adjustment than the OEM set-up which allows for optimal throttle travel, a very common "problem" often overlooked when low power is the complaint. Much better and much cheaper.
