Is the end of the throttle cable supposed to look like this or do I need to buy something specific to the swap? Trying to fix all the things sorted the PO didn't.

That could be improved upon :-P If you lose the home made bracket and widen the stock bracket to fit the cable you can do it more like this.

You don't need to widen the stock 3800 throttle body's cable mounting bracket. You just need to shave down the stock Fiero throttle cable some instead.

HAHA, i Ninja'd you with your own pic Ryan !!!

I always modify the bracket, as a machinist/gunsmith you learn to modify the cheap/easier to get part first. but thats just me.

I would have never thought of bolting the cable in. Instead I would cut the cable off and us a throttle cable stop. You can find those at most parts stores in different sizes.

I had thought about cutting the bracket, but doing that makes the one side (that separates the throttle from the cruise cable) very thin. I looked at the OEM Fiero throttle cable and determined a cutoff wheel on a dremel could quickly make the plastic on the cable thin enough to slide down into the stock 3800 throttle cable bracket.
