71 chevelle gear indicator repair

[TerrySalt61]

HI All

I am new to this so not sure this is where I should be. I just brought home a 71 chevelle. The gear indicator is not working. I have the idiot lights out and have removed over $2 in change from the indicator area. The indicator is now moving freely however the cable has come off and I cannot figure out where to place it. The cable is not broken and I have undone it from the steering column and fed it back into the indicator housing. The return spring is still attached and functioning. Any thoughts? All help is appreciated.

cheers
