Nice, this is an M4MC now M4ME going on an 67 Firebird. Small world! :)

What kind of throttle cable lever is that? Doesn't look like any of the
Original stuff I've ever seen.  Really clean looking though.

Bent the linkage and they'd get a bit further. Bend it a bit more and it wouldn't go as far. ?!?!

After an hour and a half of playing with it and feeling like a complete dumb-dumb, I got tired of listening to the secondary shaft squeek and idly sprayed it with some of my gun CLP. Worked the secondaries to work the solvent in... and they went 110*.

SON OF A...

...


I quit!

Re-adjusted the linkage and bent the secondary "stop" link a bit and now we have 90/90 on both. Throttle body is all one piece now, and the main body and air horn will get assembled tomorrow and thrown on the car tomorrow afternoon.

I'm going to stop doing these for people pretty soon, I think. I'm beat.

 I know what you mean. Just finished rebuilding a Muncie transmission. Some things were a pain in the you know what! Won't be doing one for awhile. Good to just walk away for alittle bit. :)

It's a reproduction throttle shaft from Paul Spotts.

He makes them so that you can install an M4M carb onto a late 60's Poncho setup. Those setups have brackets that then get bolted to what you see. I don't have the bracket on yet, that should be arriving today. Will be heading to San Ramon on Sunday to do idle and cruise tuning, then this goes off to our mutual friend for his 67 bird. :)
