So this what the throttle cable exit at my firewall looks like. That can't be right. The tube is not attached to the firewall, and the threaded end of the cable wouldn't slide out. The string in the picture was used to pull the cable perpendicular to the firewall. Needless to say, this wasn't working very well.

What should this look like? What do I need to do?

get thee to a welding shop!. The clutch tube broke badly years ago and someone improperly rigged it affecting the accelerator cable tube. The fix is relatively easy
