Re: 67 292 Throttle Linkage

Sometimes you have to experiment with assorted springs from the HELP! rack at the auto parts store. When the slight touch of your boot gives an extra 250 RPM -- your spring is too weak, if you get a charlie horse maintaining 65 on the freeway, the spring is too strong. Somewhere in there is just right.
I'm afraid I changed out the stock Monojet for a 4 Bbl carb in 1978, and I can't remember how the OEM stuff was rigged.
Maybe some restoration expert will chime in. At some point I turned HotRodder to stay alive on the road, and I never looked back except thru a pair of West Coast Junior mirrors.
