[NoVa-Corvairs] Now I'm in a bind.

[Darrin Hartzler]

Daniel,

Same rod as best I can tell....did it get bent as well?   With it 
disconnected from the cross shaft and you have someone push the gas pedal 
in does is pull the rod towards the firewall as it is supposed to?  Is the 
rod mounted to the top of the accelerator pivot?  Is the pivot mounted 
upside down (not sure that is possible but giving you points for 
creativity here)?

[NoVa-Corvairs] Now I'm in a bind.






Literally.

My carb cross-shaft, accelator rod, and accelerator pivot are all 
replacement pieces I recently purchased.  When I hook all of them 
together, the entire mechanism binds up.  I unscrewed the bit on the 
accelerator rod that fits into the carb cross-shaft until it was at the 
very end of the rod, and this did nothing.

Is there a different accelerator rod for a '65 140?
