Re: Blazer Tidbit: Manual Throttle
I guess it was task overload to deal with so many knobs back then.

Re: Blazer Tidbit: Manual Throttle
I don't think GM's "rules" were very strict back then. I think they did whatever they felt like doing that day.

Re: Blazer Tidbit: Manual Throttle
Yeah,I knew I`d find acceptions here,if anywhere.I`m just going by what the ordering book says.So,if you have these two and it`s bonafide original,you now know it`s unusual.A tidbit for conversation.
