    Hello
    one another question. As I wrote in another thread I forgot to make every step of disambling a photo.
    Now I'm looking for the part the connects the bar from the carburator to the rod that is fixed with the gas pedal. At my engine a 235 cui is there a pin fixed. I think there was this part placed. I don't know how it looks like.
    Has anyone a idea how this part is called, where I can get it, or send me a photo so I can look in my garage after it.
    I think I didn't throw it away.
    Ask

    If you go toThe Old Car Manual Project and look in the Master Parts Book , there are illustrations for you there .

    Also , this has been covered in detail many times before and there are older posts with pictures and links to more pictures .

    Soon you'll be driving again ! :D

    With picture

    Hi vwnate1,
    I wrote this in another thread, but here is a better photo, so can imagine what I mean.

    As you can see on the photo in the middle of the circle there is a pin there was fixed a part like a seesaw (?) that connected the gas pedal with the carburator.
    There miss I a part that is connected to the gas pedal. Because I had a personal car engine in my truck I can't find a picture of this part.

    Wolf ;

    The picture isn't showing but I know what you're talking about , having worked on a couple of these fine trucks :rolleyes:

    The " seesaw " is called " Bellcrank " in English , some were cast iron , others were stamped sheet metal .

    Often this Bellcrank is badly worn so it wobbles in the pin , just _gas_ weld the worn part of the holes and hand file to smooth , perfect fit then re-heat and quench it to re-harden the steel ~ you must _weld_ it , never braze it .

    You can add steel flat washers if it's really badly worn .

    You'll also need the " Throttle Rod " from this bell crank to the gas pedal for a truck as it's different for trucks than passenger cars .

    Eventually one of the guys here will post up a picture of the correct parts , either from the parts book or the factory shop manual ~ you need this manual and it's cheap too .

    In fact , you need the shop manual for your yeay of truck and another one for the year of the 235 engine , like the 1962 manual as I *think* it has full 235 info , not all years do .

    I hope this helps .

    Here's a diagram from the factory assembly manual that shows a typical linkage hook-up. In this case, it's most likely a '54.

    Hope this helps.
