I have had too much fun getting the accelerator assembly installed, I never been closer to getting it completed. I put everything back in and I want to be sure I have it correct before I finalize the installation, thank you in advance I know I have asked a lot of questions on this particular topic. I ordered new tapered pins due to shipping minimums I have a few extras so if anyone needs some I can mail them to you, I have 1/8 inch x 1/2 inch (long) and 1/8 inch x 3/4 in (long) they were $.33 ea. but the shipping was the killer at $12.00. They are small enough to fit in an envelope so I'll mail them to you if you want a couple. PM me if you’re interested.
First picture is the driver's side (lft), there's a slight gap between the bushing on the rod and the bushing inside the bracket. The second photo is on the passenger side (rt) and shows the position of the lever.
Here's my latest questions and hopefully last ones on this particular subject:
I used cotter pins to put the assembly in the car while waiting for my tapered pins to arrive and just to be sure I am doing the assembly correctly.
- The bushing on the driver’s side is about 1/4 of an inch from sitting snug in the bracket holding the nylon bushing. The assembly seems to operate fine my question is if it is better to move the bushing over, drill a new hole to insert the tapered pin in the rod so everything fits tighter and the bushing will fit deeper into the nylon bushing.
- I am not exactly certain how the lever arm attaches to the carburetor assembly and throttle, do I have the accelerator arm installed correctly? The way I have it installed when the gas pedal is pushed the lever goes downward and there is a good bit of travel, is the position and angle correct? I am having a hard time visualizing how everything goes back together and I have not found any good diagrams. Does anyone have a good picture of how this all gets assembled?
Thank You!
