Re: Hand throttle is it needed?
Its been a good many years since I've used the hand throttle on the 39 Ford, mainly because it has not been running. As I recall it was a handy thing to have and it worked well. Just pull it to set the high idle speed I wanted and it stayed there. Maybe an old rusty cable is a good thing for that purpose. I have a hand throttle on an IH truck that works well and holds position. The manual choke is supposed to have enough of a cam to keep the idle up for warm up but sometimes I wanted a little more rpm.
