HIO, next time Im near my dads 67 I'll snap a picture of what you to a pic of. That is where his throttle linkage bolts down.

Yup, all 3 of my FE's have ground wires on the back of the intake that connect to the firewall.

No doubt... That's an Edelbrock intake but regardless there should be a bonding strap in the vicinity.

It's all thanks to you guys because yall help me maintain a sense of humor in my world of madness.

Meeting up with fellow FTE'ers is fun and interesting.. A few years ago me and OldStyle dropped in on NBC_Steve and helped out R & R a 400 in his '79 F350 "Candycane"... got 'er done over a few short hours and six hands was much better than two. And who you think the person might be through a screen name and all this text we type sometimes doesn't visually sync with the person you meet. I thought Steve was alot taller.
