Hello all! I've been doing a bunch of searching and can't seem to find what I'm looking for in enough detail to actually build something. I'm working on finishing up the distributor right now, just got the points gaped today etc, but the one thing I haven't been able to figure out yet is the linkage to advance the timing by turning the distributor. I know it mounts to the hand controls, but since it needs to both push and pull, it can't be a typical sheathed woven cable, correct? I'm assuming it needs to be more of what an older lawn mower has for a choke cable where as it's the same style sheathing but the "cable" is actually something like a 16 gauge stainless wire or rod? Does anyone happen to have any close up pictures of what it looks like or how it attaches? It's a 1916 DB touring car serial 113756 with the delco distributor.
My second question is about the throttle pedal mounting. I can't seem to figure out how in the world it mounts to where it could actually control anything on the carb. It has 2 arms which one is obviously for the throttle, but why also have another arm? Maybe my pedal arm is bent or something but does anyone have any tips or might be able to show me a picture on how it mounts? I'm assuming somehow to the floorboard from what I can tell, but it appears to mount to the back of the board, which is what I can't seem to find any details on.
Thanks again! Mike
