    Custom Throttle Linkage

    I never thought I would see the day I would post a topic that wasn't a question... Anyways, just finished building and installing my throttle linkage. It was a pain in the butt to find the parts and almost as equal a pain to install (since everything I do takes longer than the average joe). I...

    Curious about the negative battery cable

    So why is it that when ever your working on an electrical component that you only remove the negative cable; why must the positive cable stay on? I do know the hole process about the negative cable is first off and last on, but I was just curious.

    Where is the vacuum tube on Autolite 4100

    I was just wondering where you plug the vacuum hose into the carb (from the distributor) . My first guess would be the tube at the top of the carb in the first pic (if thats not what is that?). And why there is a screw blocking a hole that leads to the passenger primary venturi.

    Carburetor or accelerator cable gone bad?

    I haven't noticed until now that my pedal was slowly sinking closer to the firewall until yesterday when I was stranded 40 miles from my apartment with my pedal not working. If I push the pedal it does not pull the accelerator cable to open the throttle. The pedal just hits the floor. When...
