Russ, I'll keep you in mind if I can't get a plunger for it. The screws are stripped so it appears that a previous owner tried to do something...
Thanks Bill and Evan, I see that our sponsor carries the throttle so I'm adding that to my list of stuff to replace.
Thanks Evan, that also explains the hole in the floor. I'm guessing the plunger is going to be a hard to find part :-)
Hi and first thanks for all the helpful feedback. I have an interesting thing in the dash of my 51 GMC truck. I pulled the gauge and...
