Howard,

Thank you for the clarification! Always good to learn more about the details of these cars, and glad to realize i was off on that detail so that i don't forward the wrong information in the future.

Paul,

here are some blurry cell phone pics from storage. Basically, i drilled and threaded the boss and bolted a small piece of about 1/8" by 1" plate (sold in hardware stores, tractor supplies, etc) and then set the throttle bracket on it, marked and drilled it, then bolted the bracket to it. It's pretty stable, so i'll likely take it back apart and paint it and remount after engine rebuild. Also, i'm going to use a longer bolt with washer spacers so that, on the outer most bolt through the bracket, it will go through the bracket, through the plate, through a nut to make it snug and rest up against the manifold underneath it so that it's not hanging out on just one bolt. It's not needed, but would look sturdier. Hopefully these help.
