Throttle linkage/alternator bracket/glass rubber install tip

[rjd2]

Hey folks-compacting a few questions into one post:

 

1-I need the throttle linkage that runs from the pedal lever to the carburetor "arm". I have the linkage that actuates the carburetor, that seats in the firewall. I can't find the arm that links from that to the pedal, and my search terminology just brings up the part I already have.

 

2-is there a bracket that seats at the adjustable side of the alternator, that connects from the alternator adjustment bracket to the front of the block? same problem as above; searching for "alternator bracket" just gets me the bracket that connects to the "seated" side of the alternator, not the adjustable side.

 

3-i've started installing new window glass, and am wondering if there's a slick technique for all these locations that require me to jam rubber into a small recess. is there a technique that works better than my current tool,  strong curse words? 

 

thanks for the help folks!!

Pictures always help to get answers.  I think I know what you are asking, but send some picks to be sure.

Search alternator arm, see if that brings up anything usefull.

Get the throttle arm from Hal, his stuff is great 

 

 

You need this bracket   and the 2 bushings that go on the bolt at the frt timing cover to hold that bracket in place  

 

Alternator bracket for all carburator models you need 1 for 1 car

 

part # 12318602037

 

and the bushings X 2  

 

Rubber/metal part for alternator bracket fits for all models and years of manufacturing you need 2 for 1 car

 

part # 11721261404

 

Use dish soap to help fit the rubber into place, go to a dollar store and pick up a couple of wood spoons and cut them to use as helpers to push the rubber into place.        And the louder the curse words, the easier it gets

 

I have new bushings and a replated arm  ( I just did the replating on it )   if you are interested

 

Thanks, Rick
