Need help installing the pins that go into the spark and throttle levers on the rod ends, let me know tips or techniques that you used to peen over the ends of the pins.

This was discussed just last week. Do a search (black bar top of page).

Thnx, found the post, just used "throttle" in the search to find it. I was over thinking the search, kept using "spark and throttle". Unfortunately the steering column still in car, don't know if I have enough room to peen, just going to use split pin, mot a fine points car.

Th9at will probably work or find a friend to help peen.
Paul in CT By the way, that search function is your friend.

I just use 3/32" roll pins-no need to peen & they fit tight.
