When I bought my 67 GTO (unrestored) it had the wrong Qjet, a '73 Chevy 350 model. I recently bought a reman '67 Qjet and the throttle linkage was wrong so I took it back. After researching my intake, found it was a '68-'69. So, today I bought a reman Qjet for a '69. Guess what, looked the same as the '67. The problem is the throttle nut hole is at 9 o'clock so it has to be pulled straight up (vertical) in order to open the jets. Since my throttle cable is horizontal from the firewall, this creates a dead pull. My old (incorrect) linkage hole was at 12 o'clock and worked perfectly. Can anyone tell me what's going on? Am I unlucky enough to get two wrong Qjets???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Roger
