With the throttle closed, the rear of the slot in the slotted rod should be touching the linkage stud unlike the position in your picture. With the throttle fully open, the throttle pressure valve lever on the transmission should be pushed fully back, but with slight play indicating no...

The pictured bolts and U-nuts were not originally equipped for a Chrysler vehicle of the 1970s, specifically 1973 Challenger. The U-nuts were made by CIP Fasteners, a defunct company now absorbed into ITW. The bolts, or screws, with the washer were made by Chian Yung Corporation. The bolts are...
