33 Coupe Engine Install 15        9/15/03

One other piece that I bought from CSI was this throttle cable quick-disconnect. This attaches to the carburetor linkage with the nut and washer that you see here. The other end goes on the cable.
 

 

 

Here you can see where they come apart. The round part on the left slides back which is spring loaded. The other piece goes into a slot under the spring loaded piece and that's why they call this a "quick disconnect". It only takes a second to separate the two from one another. 
 

 

 

The hole toward the bottom is where the quick-disconnect piece gets bolted on. I had to deburr the hole and mounting surface because it was so rough. Otherwise the shoulder on the quick-disconnect piece wouldn't sit square and I can't have that ya know. Notice the shinny area around the hole now (I used a file to flatten and smooth things out). This only took a minute but still makes me wonder about quality control these days.
  

 

 

Now I'm ready to install the "TPS" (Throttle Position Sensor) for the transmission. This hardware is what goes on the carburetor so the transmission will work. If you remember in the transmission section, I talked about this so if you need a refresher on how this works, you can check it out there. What I'm going to do is attach the bracket on the right-top first and then the TPS bolts to that.
