Default Re: Spark and accelerator control rods...

"New" I would consider a poor substitute. Larger ends swaged on but look "clunky." That is unless the replacement mentioned above is something other than "Vintique."

Right now I straightened an original steering column to distributor rod - it appears to have been painted black. Fortunately for me the springs are not broken although obviously the only way in would be to "undo" that swage - hardly possible. It would be nice to clean everything out before painting/coating.

My somewhat passe Judging Standards indicates the Throttle links (of which the distributor link SHOULD be a part?) C,Z which is Cadmium or Zinc plated. As the repops seem to come, more-or less.

So right now I'm at a sort of conundrum regarding what to do with this link. Otherwise its in great shape.
