Lmao, gotta love puns. Just be careful to secure the butterfly closed. Otherwise your screwed!

That worked great, I got all the screws loosened up. The modifications continue ...

Awesome! Keep us updated.

Got the throttle body 90% done. Cut the secondary shaft in half,
hooked up the mechanical secondaries, and simplified the throttle linkage.

I may do more on the throttle linkage once I have the rest of the carb stacked up.
I want to try and not have to use the existing return spring and teeter totter so
the top is easier to get off (ala Sterling).

I also still have to fully adjust the mech. sec. too. They're close but it will have to
go on the car to get it just right.

I also updated the first post as I've complete tasks if anyone wants to follow along.

A buddy of mine has graciously volunteered an ACV block off plate. I sure do
appreciate it Mike, if your reading this.

I hope to have this on for DGRR but the goal is to have it ready for the Mitty.

I make a one piece aluminum spacer for the primary throttle linkage after I remove all that extra stuff. If you want, PM me your address and I'll send you one.
