The hardware furthers my quest to replace all the slotted fasteners on the engine with Allen heads. Note the big Philliips screws are not original but I used them when I first put the blower housing together.


Funny story - Many years ago I replaced every slotted fastener on the sheet metal with Allen heads because I thought they were easier to work with and looked cool. The next time I had the car in the shop the mechanic replaced every one of them with the original slotted fasteners without even asking. I guess he did not agree with that mod. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I think they were not tapered and were thus harder to thread.


Or maybe he was an OEM purist. But I get the advantage of the tapered end. Some of mine were a challenge to get started.

I took the left door off to get that side started.

Locks and levers in place, and working.

I need a few bits to finish the door, so instead I laid out my new throttle body cable system, from Tangerine Racing. Very nicely designed and made. This should be fun.

First, I made a trial assembly of the brackets and hardware. Right now, my plan is to mount the pulleys on the rear sides of the throttle bodies. In this view (looking from the rear), the master pulley is on the right and the secondary pulley is on the left.

Close-up of the brackets. The fit and machine work is very good.

The Tangerine kit includes longer manifold studs, to accommodate the brackets. The studs are the same length overall, but have longer sides.

The longer studs go on the insides of the manifolds.

Check fit with the left throttle body and bracket.

Now for some fun! Here is the right throttle body and the master pulley. This has to mount in place of the stock lever arm, and in the right orientation.

Lever arm and washers removed, and the throttle stop exposed. According to Chris Foley, the stock return spring should stay in place.

Here's the recommended pulley position. I plan to use the lower two holes, and the bisector of those holes should be inclined 45 degrees downward from horizontal.

Note the holes in the inner pulley recess. The upper hole will be for the locating pin that will connect the pulley and the stock throttle stop.

The small dimple is the pin location, marked with the pulley aligned at 45 degrees. But drilling a hole there would be too close to the edge of the throttle stop.

So I moved the hole position slightly to the left.

I then chamfered the hole so the split pin can slide in easier.

Here's the throttle stop back on the shaft, with the return spring.

Using the press to install the split pin in the pulley.

I pushed the split pin through the pulley just far enough to reach the back side of the throttle stop. Any further and it would interfere with stuff inboard of the stop.
