Attn# 68 OrangeSunshine PICS for you to view!
Here is a shot of the throttle set up for hand throttle at the pedal. Please try not to laugh to hard at my art work! OK, I hope this will help you, Mike
The cable hooks to the top eye of the added on rod, sort of like a hand brake cable on a motorcycle hooks. I know the pic is poor quality, dim light level. The weld area is only where the rods touch together of course. Then the cable routes up through the dash with the pull knob.

I don't have that added-on rod. I do have a couple different types of upper superstructure attached to the pivot/firewall plate. One type is much taller than the other.
Also on your '71 GMC -- since I have a '71 Jimmy that this detail is to go into -- what position on the dash is the Throttle knob set in? Under the Light switch, or under the WIPERS? I already have a manual choke under my wiper switch. I guess the wipers could move to the left. Just thinking out loud, here. Thanks Mike.

OK. I guess I'll have to route the wipers over to the left, under the lights, since I can't move the choke. I have a throttle tag label. Also a choke tag from GSPP.
Do you have a hand choke ? And if so where is it, under the dash? Most '71s had deleted the manual choke in favor of electric or heat activated bi-metal coils [mechanical]. I'm used to them -- since I have one on my '68 stepside -- so I got a 600 cfm Carter AFB w/ a manual choke for the 350 in the Jimmy. My printer's on the blink, so my attempted copy of your jpeg came out funny, but I get the basic idea. Thanks.

Hi there, My truck did not come stock with hand choke, I added a holley cable
to the right of gauge bezel. Why is it you can not move choke? I thought they could be mounted almost anyplace. I can get a better PIC and send to reg. e-mail if you wish. Have a great day, Mike

Mike I'm gonna PM you.
I don't want to hassle with relocating the choke. It's in and set up and works Ok, so F%&ing with it is counterproductive. Throttle cable length is the issue here. It has to reach the accelerator rod. Another problem might be grabbing the wrong knob at start-up on a hung-over morning. Also, if I flip the wipers over to the left, they'll be inverted from their '68 style positions, but I could get used to it.
