I replaced my factory carb Mercruiser 5.7 with a TBI Marine Power 5.7.
The throttle runs to and will connect to the TBI throttle lever.
My issue is, the throttle cable mount on the new engine is a different style. More of a clip.
What's the correct fix for this? Thanks in advance for any input.

Either need a different cable which uses the marine power bracket, or replace the bracket with one which fits the current cable

I would probably look at making one from a piece of aluminum flat stock from the hardware store.

the cable mount is a typical OMC/Volvo penta (Holley) cable mount for a type 33 cable
