    Hey Guys,

    I'm swapping my 2 barrel over to a 4 barrel. I'm in need of a dashpot bracket for a 350 4 barrel intake. What's that you say? The '71 and earlier cars have a non-electric screw-in dashpot that the throttle arm sits against when the throttle is closed. The '72 and later cars have the electric throttle solenoid that kicks up the idle when the a/c is on. See the pic. Has to come from a '71 or earlier 350-4 intake. The 2 barrel or the big block bracket won't fit. I know it's a small part, but I hope someone would take the time to respond if you can help. Not looking for a freebie, will pay for the part.

    Thanks,
    Donny

    I've got one that I could send you. It needs cleaned up a bit though.

    Hey Kevin - Thanks for answering my post. Did I get snaked on the dashpot bracket? I really need it and would pay you for it.

    Whoops! Donny, I figured you had Kevin's on the way, so I sent one to Superbenjamin. I'm sorry, I should have made sure. :error: :Dou:

    If you can wait, I'll pick up another one next friday and send it to you for nothing as an apology.

    Sorry 'bout that... :spank:

    Dashpot Bracket Cluster F***

    I appreciate that James. No need to come out of pocket for anything though, just let me know how much shipping is and what you want for your time. Send me a PM with your name and address.

    Thanks,
    Donny

    No problem - hopefully Kevin will resurface with his before then, and you'll be on your way!

    btw, you going for original appearance? Otherwise, you don't really *need* a dashpot...

    Yeah, my goal is stock appearance. I'll actually adjust the dashpot out of the bracket to the point that it barely touches the throttle arm. It will be there, but won't do anything. I sent Kevin a PM, but haven't heard back. If he comes through, I'll let you know.

    Thanks again,
    Donny

    Donny, I owe you an apology, I've been looking at every Buick 350 I can find, and I can't find a dashpot on any of them. :rant: Sorry about that, next time I'll make sure the original poster gets theirs first. :spank:

    You ever hear back from Kevin? Hope so...
