[DeTomaso] Techno question: Small carb part

Dear Don, Mark and Thomas,

 

 

                      Thanks very much.   Last night the tip that O’Reilly’s might have it plus the proper part name resulted in success. Shortly after sundown, the throttle ball assortment was on the workbench for use later today.  

 

                      It is a cliché, but very true:  this Forum is  the best.

 

 

                                           Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

   Dear Forum,
                        There is a small part on the carb throttle
   arm/lever
   that connects to the end of the Pantera throttle cable.  The part is a
   small
   metal ball on top of a cone-like pedestal that fits sideways in the
   throttle
   arm.  The Pantera throttle cable end captures the ball of the carb arm
   in
   the socket of the end of the throttle cable.
                        If I have explained this well enough for it to
   make
   sense, then dumb questions follow:
   1)       What is the proper name of that fiddly bit, little ball
   thingee??
   2)       Where can I find one or two or three on a Saturday morning??
   {
   PLEASE don't tell me to back to the Temple of Auto Parts
   Disappointment: my
   local NAPA store....}
                                          Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles
