I posted a picture of the outside of the frame where the bracket bolts to.

I had to turn the pivot bolt 180 to get the rod to fit in the tube.

Not 100% sure, but if you look in the upper left corner, between the heater box and firewall tunnel, I think that connector goes on that switch


I'm gonna have to dig further and see what i can find in my pictures. I'm getting ready for Church right now, so it will be later.

Super bummer on the parts!!!

Edit: The single hole one was on the left rear intake manifold bolt the 2 hole one was on the right rear 2 intake manifold bolts

its okay at least i can still use most of the parts! i need to figure out where the spark plug wire holders go i cleaned them and painted them black.... that extra wire that connects on the firewall .... i dont have that switch on the fire wall .... remember i have a 67 and the fire wall is different right there

You might try a hydraulic supply store control levers usually have small knobs.

I sent you a PM the other day about the parts if you haven't seen it.

thats a good idea what about a tractor supply co.?

[project 67 sub]

here is a question for you. whats going on with all of those washers stacked under the front bolts of your wiper cowl, did it not line up right without them lol.???

[67chevy1series]

hmmm....oh yea it was a test to see if i could get it to go higher to met the hood ....its pretty ''ghetto'' but you gotta give me some credit, if you cant make the hood meet the cowl panel then make the cowl panel come up a little to meet the hood! but i enede up taking them out and i need to do some adj to the hood still.... any more questions from any body?

[project 67 sub]

haha nope lol was just making sure

[67chevy1series]

oh alrighty then eric

[oldblue1968chevy]

Ya trying to make a knob? Once I drilled a golf ball and used it for a suicide shifter..lol

[67chevy1series]

hahaha thats funny. well today i will get some pics for you guy, and me and my dad are gonna change his head gate his is completely rusted through in the middle where it bends, so we have one that is perfect and it wil go on instead

[Newtz67]

Hey Rick, for that threaded ball you might try N&S tractor supply. They used to be out off of 59 past the fairgrounds. I think there are a couple others out there too, not 100% percent sure but it may be worth a shot. Good luck!

[67chevy1series]

thanks newtz!
