Throttle Linkage

I have an '85 auto and one of the ball joints for the throttle link that goes from the bellcrank to the throttle body is bad, just falls off the ball.

This linkage does not appear to show up in the parts listings for the normal suppliers (unless I am looking in the wrong place).

Any idea where I can get a replacement link or at least the ball joint end (I am pretty sure it has a left hand thread)?

Are you sure they're on the right way? Try swapping ends. I had the throttle linkage backwards and it wouldn't stay on, either.
