ray: ray: I have a 67 Rivi and i noticed that on the throttle linkage, the wires that are attached to the linkage are not connected. can someone help me by telling me where the connector is supposed to connect to? ray:
Those wires go to the switch pitch torque convertor. Either someone has replaced you transmission and convertor with a later model without switch pitch or they have just disconnected the wires. If you have switch pitch the car will perform better with it operating, in my opinion. Hope this helps. Jim Netherland
Dr. side of the intake manifold toward the firewall next to valve cover. If it's not there the trans may have been swapped like Jim said. If you do have a sp trans it should be hooked up. Ray
ok i just checked to see if mine has the switch pitch torque converter, and it doesnt. Is this bad for the engine? also, does the wire connection from the transmission connect of the right side of the switch pitch?
Yes the wires go the back of the switch. DaWildcat posted this link a while back of a diagram. It should help.http://home.comcast.net/~shinzan/ST300_linkage.jpg Ray
