Throttle linkage
Does anyone have a picture of the bracket that bolts on the rear driver's side of the Ford intake to support the throttle linkage, for Autolite carb? Does it use a rod end bearing as the pivot for the linkage rod?
Thanks
Roger

It is indeed 2367. It's a spectacular car too!
I think the bracket could be duplicated fairly easily. Not a complicated piece.

Our supreme guru, one Dan Case, has very generously sent me more information. Thank you, Dan.
Now... how to find a PCV valve like the 'square' brass one?

Is it a PCV or just a vent?
If it's just a vent, I have something that looks very similar and would probably suffice that you can have.

Hi Paul,
No, it's a PCV, goes into the carb spacer. The early Hipos had a road draft tube which came off the cast triangular platform at the back of the intake, but mine is slightly later and that casting is not drilled.
Pretty sure that PCV is a very rare piece. I have a regular plastic/metal Mustang one as a back up, but the brass would be nice.

Throttle linkage system parts information, youre welcome.
The brass 90° elbow is not rare. The production valve is uncommon now. Many thousands were used in production but many thousands got replaced during service or tossed in the trash too. A production valve with anything left of the round paper tag is very rare. I have only seen one production valve in a service part package in lots of years of paying attention. Mr. Mannels book covers the evolution of the valve design in some depth, external what you can see and internal to address issues in use. The most common way to get both a production valve and brass elbow as used in 1964-65 Cobras is from any 289 V8 PCV set up from its 1964 Fairlane or Comet valve cover. The most common situation to find them is where somebody is trying to sell a set of nasty old valve covers with the elbow and valve still in place in its PCV side valve cover. (Just being old doesnt mean anything because PCV valves were parts frequently changed during routine service instead of dismantling them for cleaning.) As long as the internal parts are not badly corroded they can usually be cleaned and reused.

Elbow yes, valve no (hex taller than production part - Mr. Mannel's book has pictures of different versions)

The one in Larry's picture seems to have the rubber hose connected directly to the brass elbow, no hex-head valve visible.

The PCV valve is threaded on top and screws into the elbow. There are reproduction elbows that are close to the one pictured made today. I have a PCV valve on the way that looks similar but the hex isn't as tall. I think it's correct but won't know for sure until I get it. Hopefully it'll arrive this week.

Thanks for the pic - I've found one of those and am now waiting for it to arrive. Anyone have a good source for the brass elbow?
It seems pipe barb is for 1/2" ID hose. Can anyone tell me the size of the threaded hole, to match the PCV thread?

I swear Drake used to sell a reproduction elbow but they don't list one now. I'll keep looking.

I'd say it's the same as a Nissan:

That's close, real close but I think the BSPT is wrong. I'm not 100% sure yet though.
