After a week or so hiatus to assemble and locate the 4 post lift, I'm back at it.
When I moved the 41 commercial things did not go so well. The first thing was an extremely high rpm. I don't know if it was WOT or not, considering I've never had it at WOT in the past. Then when I moved it, I had oil that was splashing all over the left side of the engine.

So, the car is on the lift after some manual (no engine running) labor.
The high rpm issue was caused by the throttle rod being out of wack. I never had it connected before this episode. So, are the throttle and choke rods the same length? The choke rod works fine. If they are or are not the same length, what is the part number(s) and where can I get them. As long as I'm at it, I'll replace them both.

I believe I have a 59A engine with a holley 94 carburetor. The vehicle is a '41 112" wheelbase commercial.

Any thoughts?

I'll get to the oil issue next.
