Default Throttle body problems

Well guys, i got a throttle body the other day, it is a stock one ported and polished by east coast supercharging. i put it on before and the wire next to the throttle did not clip on, the metal piece was to big on the east coast S/c one. so i put my stock TB back on. what should i do about the metal stud being to big to fit the plastic clip on the wire next to the throttle cable?

My guess is they sent you one with a 98-99 cam. They are different than the 00-02s.

Yes I do..... take off the Throttle position sensor. Take the throttlebody blade out and knock the shaft through the thottlebody on the sensor side. Make sure to catch the retaining ring when it comes out.

i figured that, i guess u have to give it a couple hard whacks with a rubber mallet, becuase i hit it yesterday lightly (i didnt wanna break anything) and it didnt budge, and what do you mean by the retaining ring? is that by the bearing inside there?
