<VV> Mystery Part

[Bill Hubbell]

Since it is now open season (and since the answer is lurking out there at 
the SCG web site):

Assuming Seth is correct, so far as he went,
Ask yourselves these questions:

1) Why would GM make a special Upper Choke rod?
2) Why haven't most of you ever seen one before?
3) Was it used on both sides or just one side?  If one side, which side, and 
why?

If you can figure out #3 you will have the answer to the "Mystery"

Hints -
1) It was only used on a small number of 1962-1965 Corvair cars - (never 
wagons or FCs)
2) Never used on Turbo cars.

Looks  like secondary carb linkage for a 140.

No, Harry - I'm sure it's a bimetallic spring to choke  lever connector 
link.
But it has adjustment at both ends, unlike the ones I  am familiar with. The
late ones all had a threaded end (to the link that went  down through the 
head
passageway) and a bent end to fit into the top lever/link  on the carb, with
a pal clip. It must be for a unique model or  installation. I've never seen
one with the adjustment at the top as well. Maybe  a real early 62? - the 
first
year of that design. -  Seth
