JaberJaw Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 (edited) I am trying to find the location for the throttle return spring on a 1939 Plymouth P8 Deluxe 201. The linkage was removed but not taken apart to be cleaned and painted while doing the head gasket and some preservation however the bracket was removed without any pictures to be painted and now cannot recall it's original position. Any pictures or information would be very helpful. I usually bag and tag but this is the one part that got away from me LOL Edited July 20, 2023 by JaberJaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joecoozie Posted July 20, 2023 Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 Does the linkage connect on the passenger side of the engine? Please post a picture of the side(s) of the engine so we can see if we can pinpoint the correct location From looking at some "not so great" pictures it seems like the bracket may bolt onto the manifold(s) - just a guess.

JaberJaw Posted July 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2023 It has the linkage that goes from the starter pedal up to linkage that I painted on the driver side and then crosses over the top of the cylinder head to the carburetor. I'm going to put a new throttle return spring and possibly a spring to help with the guidance across the head. At the moment I'm waiting for the cylinder head to get milled because it had a bit of a warp and there was five blown head gaskets in the parts bin so I assume they've had this problem before but I am only the third owner. The pictures that I can supply won't really show everything properly because the head is removed and part of the linkage is taken apart across the engine. I assume once I get my head back and sequence and torque it properly it will come to me to where it goes because the oil filter mounts to the Head and I'm sure I will be able to locate it but I was hoping somebody had the same setup in a picture. It would be for the accelerator pump rod to the linkage that mounts the top of the head. I'm doing a bit of a preservation while the head is off and install the new water pump.
