today the link was removed. Found to much play in small arm joint. This allowed the end of the link arm to pass over the center stop pin and wedge against the inside of the cowl. After removing, the rivot was hammer to close the gap (spacer wash had been worn down also). Looks good now. Pictures in link below, show installed and removed (repaired). Needed new clip as it was ruined on removal and found a chevy throttle body clip worked well (pictured). Running fine now, quit a job with the air unit in the way. Had to do by feel. Tom
