JimW and Tom,
The cable was a GM factory recall in the early 70's- they put one on my 68 Camaro with 327. I actually had a mount fail and I experienced the problem about '74. The rubber of the mount would seperate, the engine would lift the left side under hard acceleration, and bind the throttle linkage at Wide Open Throttle!! (and Toyota still is fighting this problem with a fly-by-wire throttle!!)

In the latter part of '64 it was factory installed on Buick 401 & 425 nailheads due to the wide open throttle problem you describe. Basically, they expected the driver side mount to seperate due to torque.
Engineer at Tremec - sounds great - let me know what you find.
You right - it has the bolt that passes through it, but I don't believe the bolt engages the opposite plate, but tonite, i'm going to find out. I'll attach a pic or two if I'm not sure.
