67 292 Throttle Linkage
So my truck has ran before. I just rebuilt my single barrel carb. It does run after the fact of being rebuilt. I know that the return spring on my throttle linkage is not the right one. Would any of you happen to have any pics? For the life of my I can't seam to find any good pictures at the right angle to see what I need.

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.

I found this one but it looks like it might not be stock.
