Finally found the #$%^&*? correct throttle cable bracket. LORD these are hard to find. Year, make, model, and carb specific. Jesus.

Yeah, when it gets that difficult, it's hard to even have that "feeling of accomplishment" thing. Nope, just a freakin PITA!

Been having WAY too many of those lately too. Hard to make progress.

Long story short, it was way harder than it needed to be to find. These brackets were model specific, engine specific (350 Buick ONLY), and year specific (68-74), as well as carb specific (two or four barrel), so yeah. :I But, I have it now and I have renewed enthusiasm for the engine. Now, I just need 1500 simoleons.

They are growing on me. They look better from a distance I think. Drove the old girl to work today. Tonight I investigated my diverter door for my dash vents. Found it is working right but seal is worn out. I shoved some rags up there to get more air out of my dash vents. View attachment 71098

Helps it is on level ground too. ;)
