[V8] Throttle cable connection woes

[Ron Wainwright]

Ok, just got the call back.
 @ 1st I popped in 90 V8 & it only gave me the Manual cable..... but I then popped down 93 v8 & it popped up both Manual & Auto cables. So those of us with manuals might wanna get one to put in the basement for safe keeping.

 Thanx to Wes in Indi for the link :-)
