Thanks Benzmac for the reply.I see the e-clips you're referring to.My description was lacking just a little.The three clips I'm asking about are about the size of a nickel,one of them is used to locate the control pressure bowden cable and the other two go to the throttle assembly at the rear of the intake manifold somewhere but I'm not seeing it.Any clues? Where do I get a parts manual/microfiche/cd-rom with M-B part #'s?

I don't know where they go. You may want to run over to a local dealer and get them to look up the throttle links and let you see a pic. They can print this out. (purchase an oil filter or something for good standing.)
