Signs the Four Horsemen of The Apocalypse are near:
Gas prices go over $5. Pete Davidson gets to go to outer space. Tom Brady comes out of retirement after just 40 days. Charley buys this. |

Charlie, I think you are very smart for buying that car. If I had the means and was offered it, I would have bought it in a heartbeat AND had the end carbs put back to work, propelling that beautiful car down the road.

It was actually just a spring to counter act the vacuum that was added to disable the end carbs. Simply unhooked it. Runs great. Pretty elaborate setup of vacuum lines for the carbs.

I thought they had block off plates under the end carbs and then figured out it was just the spring.

So the end carbs are actually controlled by vacuum ? I've never seen anything like that.

And apparently a really big vacuum tank.

Or maybe something is missing off this shaft coming out of the center carb.

----I know that in 1964 GTO's with tri-power the outside carbs were vacuum operated so it stands to reason that earlier Tri-power cars were also vacuum operated. Progressive linkage was out there in speed shops and guys rapidly yanked the vacuum system off. It was gone on my 64 GP and I never put vacuum back on as the car ran fine without it. I believe that Pontiac saw the light in 65 as 65 GTO's came with progressive linkage. California Chris could proably explain it better than me.....Bill S

My only experience was with an older cousins '65 GTO. He had the progressive rod rigged so when he street raced, he could lock it and the end carbs opened immediately. 4 speed with 4.11 gears and cheater slicks. Car was danged fast for the day.
