My truck is a 1953 3100, engine is 261, carb is Rochester B. My throttle cable housing can be clamped but the thin inside cable cannot be fastened. The best I can do is poke it through the hole of the accelerator linkage and bend it around. Is this correct?
Here is a previous post the explains it perfectly.

Per the link that JW51 supplied, here’s a pic of my Dorman cable stop in action. And if you look way down in the pic, you will see the choke cable sporting one as well. Oh and Leo, if you are planning to visit San Francisco soon, I would give you a couple of them.

Leo, there is already a hole in the throttle rod. You have a cotter pin in it now.
When I went to the Auto Parts store to buy the Dorman cable stops, they didn't have any in stock. I went down the street to a bike repair shop and they gave me this one. They have millions of them for brake cables. It has an Allen head set screw.
