[oletrucks] throttle cable

Having found a VERY rusty 50 in a local yard, I have been nabbing parts
here and there...
one of which is a throttle cable, uncut, w/ the proper knob (looks like
someone 20 or 30 years ago was going to connect a new one, never finished).
While I know it goes through the little holder on top of my Rochester,
WHERE does the business end connect?
Should it go on the throttle lever, where the arm from the accellerator
crank gets hooked up? Is there a special barrel nut, or should it just be
looped thru the hole the cotter pin now sits in - etc etc.

Thanks.

(btw - if any one need something, I'll look for it, but this truck is far
too gone to restore. I have the light switch, the knobs and the correct
rear bumper (at last).  Seat frames look good, some ok trim).
