Default Another small step forward.....

Made up a throttle cable bracket.

I was able to use the cable mounting section off of a '64 Tempest 215 6-cylinder throttle cable bracket. Good thing I don't ever throw any old Pontiac parts away.

I cut the rest of the bracket out of 1/8" steel plate and welded the cable mount piece to it. As long as you have a sharp hacksaw blade, a good selection of files and a decent set of drills and taps you make a lot of stuff at home in your garage.







Started mocking up the airbox base using some thin cardboard.

I'd still bet there would be a market for a new batch of them!

Could be, but I wonder how many of the folks who say they want one would be serious enough pony up $1500 to $2000 or perhaps even more than that to buy one.

Just out of curiousity, does anyone know how much these actually sold for when Dave first started selling them?

I'd like to know much it would cost to make one now. Certainly the market would be much better for the version that fits '65 and later heads.
