66 C-Code Throttle Rod
« on: August 05, 2011, 02:33:40 PM »
MAR 66 C-Code Metuchen Car.

Is the 3/16" diameter throttle rod (the one that is like a "Z") from the carburetor lever to the accelerator arm...

...plated yellow zinc or silver zinc? 

How about the little screw on stud that gets the little cotter pin?

Original cars and rods I have observed were zinc dichromate.  The little screw on part was clear zinc.
