73 super beetle with a plugged throttle cable tube

[costonjs]

hey, can anyone confirm which of these tubes is the throttle cable tube? the vehicle is a 73 super. the front of the car is to the left and the hole in the tunnel is just ahead of the bolt hole for the seat belt. sorry for the poor focus. don't know what happened there.

believe the throttle is the top one follow the line from the tube outlet by pedal or use a mirror to look inside where heat cable tubes are. had a 73 with same problem cut out a small section and sleeved a repair tube over blocked part. tried pushing cable, fish tape, speedo cable nothing worked it was bunched up good. after words someone suggested putting coke or drano in it. not sure on that but that repair is a pain in the buttocks.

This site has the cross section view of the center tunnel from a '63 Type1. It might help you determine which tube is which:

These sections may be most useful:

In the above pic the front of the car is to the right.
