I just bought a 1959 Apache and the throttle cable is not connected. Does anyone have or know where I can find something that show how to connect the manual throttle and choke?

Hey Gene, Welcome to the Bolt! Glad to see another Task Force owner join us.
If you do not already have a Shop Manuel or an Assembly Manuel for your truck then I suggest investing in one soon, they are invaluable in fixing and troubleshooting things. As to your throttle cable, there should be a bracket on your carb, screwed to the top of the Air horn. The bracket will have two clamps on it, one for the choke and one for the throttle. the throttle cable in clamped in there and run to the throttle linkage where it threads through a hole and has a little clamp type screw on it that allows the throttle to still slide up for acceleration.

For some reason I can post the link to the Manuel on Old Car Manuel Project.com for a visual. Hopefully someone will come along with an illustration. Good Luck!

I take it this is a 6 cyl. Your carb should have a bracket that the cables hook to. The throttle is vertical & the cable core goes into the hole in the rod with cable stop underneath. The choke cable is horozontal & the core hooks into the connector on the carb with the set screw. This is about the best I can explain it. Maybe someone will come in with photo.s.


They say money can't buy happiness. It can buy old Chevy trucks though. Same thing.
