Timing and hand throttle levers
I think I messed up when I refurbished my steering column by removing the hand control levers.
Any good ideas out there on how to get them back in? |

Sure, you just have to “worry” them in. You will find the hole. Stick with it.

I have drilled a small dimple in the end and used ice pick for guide

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
In the U.S you could perhaps purchase a good used one from a place like Berts. Since you are in Sweden, this may not be an option.

Guess I'll have to pull it out again so I can hold the column in a vertical position instead. |

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
A few years ago I helped a friend restore a '30 coupe. It went smoothly and it was a good experience until we installed the levers in the steering column.

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
Mine were also a bear to get back in. Part of the problem was the new upper bushing... by far the worst part of the entire steering box rebuild.

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
On top of all of the above,be sure and slide a piece of fuel line on the rods as an anti rattler.
Mikko,if your going to run a performance head get rid of the A distributor,go with a mechanical advance unit,the tolerance for timing inaccuracy gets shorter as you raise compression.I run the throttle rod only on mine..its handy for warm up and oklahoma cruise control..but I ditched the spark rod,run a B distributor. |

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
I find that putting them in with the anti rattler is much easier before you put the column on the steering shaft. Then ou can use the steering shaft hole and a tool to guide the levers into the bottom hole. It may be a pain to disassemble now, but probably save time in the long run and ou can get them in with the anti rattler where it should be.

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
Tried the "drill a dimple in the end-method" and that did the trick, lever is in.

Re: Timing and hand throttle levers
I'm not planning on selling the car because this is something I've been dreaming of building for a very long time, so I'll take my chances and ditch the spark rod and just keeping the hand throttle.
