So much for those concours points :-)
So much for that spotless toolkit....
Coming back from an SCCA autocross yesterday in Gainesville, the throttle linkage between the tranny bellcrank and the throttlebodies broke. I used the smallest combo wrench in the original toolkit as a splint, with 4 small wormgear hose clamps to keep the ends together......It got me the 130 miles home. Despite lying under the car at the side of the road, I was chuckling, thinking how much damage I was doing to the wrench. It's a tool kit for pete's sake. I'll post pics when I take it off to repair it. Per http://www.classicmotorsports.net |

Oh, does anyone have this linkage for a 69E? Probably all the same for the MFI cars.

You need to post a pic for the anti-concours web site. We can put it next to the burrito warming on the sheet metal.

I've posted a pic of the repair (which, when removed and pulled on, actually looks/feels strong enough to last quite a while) on our website

Yep, it's the best kind, it got me home. I tried the string through the decklid, but it's the wrong angle on a MFI car.
