Tommy, Laissez le bon temps rouler!!! (Pardon my French.) We went to one of your Metairie Mardi Gras parades a few years back! Those step ladders modified to hold 2-3 kids on a shelf to watch the parade were great. Some had wheels and were used like a cart to haul an ice cooler around.

Thanks, guys. The engine man had the 261 so I don't know its source. It is indeed a 5/16" 18-thread hole. I had a hard enough time with my throttle pivot. I don't know how they could have used that hole.

Thanks, again, especially pre-68 Dave!
