On our '67 GT.I made notes when I took it apart,but I can't find them.
The manuals don't show a very good picture.Does anyone have a detailed picture
of how the two rods go,& how/where the returns springs go?
 
How far disassembled are the two rods, Doug? If the arm for the cable and the ends connecting to the carbs haven't been removed it will be easier to orient everything.
 
They're complete (no cables attached),but I'm not sure which one goes on
top,& which one goes on bottom.
And where does the one with the long arm on the middle go?
 
The one with the arm is the throttle shaft, accelerator cable attaches to the arm. The "top" one. The other is for the choke.
 
Thanks! Now I need to take it apart (again!).
Any job worth doing right is worth doing at least three times.
Good thing I'm not getting paid by the hour.

Our adage here is: "If you ain't done it three times, ya ain't done it at all!"
 
Doc, Only 3 times!!! LOL :devilgrin:
 
:cheers:
 
Please look thru the dirt and missing shaft in the right carb, this is a set needing rebushing, I "substituted" a DCOE Weber on the B.

EDIT: Looking at the pix again, the choke rod is upside-down.
