Throttle cable connection to throttle body

Guys, I've installed a '94 LT1 in my El Camino and need a photo that shows how the throttle cable is connected to the throttle body. There seems to be two connections on the throttle body, one for the cruise control and one for the throttle cable, but I don't know which is which. If the throttle cable rides in the cam (not the ball socket), what does the end of the cable look like and what secures it in the hole? I do not have the original Z28 throttle cable, so will need to buy an aftermarket cable...but I don't see any at Jeg's or Summit that look like they have the proper connection to the throttle body.
Thanks

Ge here and look at the ninth bullet under removing the intake manifold. It says and shows how the cables are connected.

Thanks, it looks like I will need to buy a generic cable and machine a dowel, then drill and tap for a set screw in the end of the dowel to make the connection. A little more work than I wanted, but doable now that I know what the original cable end looked like.
