Thanks Joe. That may help. I basically just need to see how the linkage attached to the carb. I’m not seeing it in the AIM in enough detail.

Thanks, john

No one is running the OEM choke setup? I very surprised no one has responded.

Originality / 1968 ss350 choke help

« on: October 03, 2021, 12:48:28 AM »

Hey guys,

I just restored my carburetor and installed it but can’t see how the choke installs. The choke is wanting to be closed all the time and the choke attachment to carb clip interferes with a tab on the carburetor arm.

Can someone show an image of the choke rod and clip with attachment point in the carb so I can make sure I install it correctly?

Thank you,
John

Does anyone know which way the rubber piece faces? There is a groove on one side of the in side surface. Does that face to the horn contact or the cap? I ask because it fits both.

Also are the screw heads too big for the horn contact? They interfere with the rubber piece no matter which direction I try to install it.

Basically I can get the cap on but the horn won’t work because there isn’t enough travel left.

Thoughts? This is super frustrating that I can build a whole car and get stuck on this. The assembly drawings are terrible and don’t show this step.

Thanks for the help.

I'm not sure. I used what came in the kit. Let me know what you think of these images.

Hello

I’m in need of a little guidance. I can’t seem to figure out how to install the horn cap on the steering  a standard column with a three spoke comfort grip wheel. Am I missing anything or did I install something incorrectly?
I reviewed the assembly manual and it does not show the horn cap installation. I’ll post pics as soon as I can convert file types.

Thank you for your assistance.

NOS?

This is the example of a bad re-pop on ebay.  It is straight cut at the top and unlike originals.

Hello,
I am in search of a good passenger side quarter window seal. I have tried a couple of aftermarket ones and they are terrible fits. One was way too long and another had a cut straight top instead of the seals curved edge like originals. Very cheap all around. In the 90s someone stole my seal on that side and I had a decent extra that lasted until now.

Does anyone have a suggestion of a source to get a correctly fitting, quality quarter window vertical seal?

Has anyone tried the Classic Headquarters reproductions? Any leads on an original?

Thank You for any suggestions.
John

yes agreed it is an excellent service. I was able to find the dealer name as well. Now I can begin research from the beginning to fill in the gaps from working backwards on the history of the car. Its nice to learn something new after having owned this car fro 30 years.

Does anyone have any information on B&M Chevrolet-Cadillac dealer located in Winchester Virginia?

So excited to gain some new information on my 68. Haven’t learned anything new in almost 20 years...

Thank You,
