Title: This is something new to me, what is it?
Post by: carmantx on March 14, 2015, 08:53:39 PM

I am building a 68 Cadillac quadrajet for a customer, and it has this mounted on the passenger side.  I have not seen this and I have no idea what it is or does.  Anybody have any idea?

 Pretty common on '67-'68 Cadillac's. That is the A/C Idle Speed Up Control Dashpot. Also a very hard part to find, if not working.

Thank you Ethan.  First I had run across.  May be the last for that matter.
