My '67 Coronet, '66 383 with the carter 2 bbl, has been in hibernation for a few years and I am trying to fire it up. My problem is the throttle shaft is frozen. I have been spraying PP Blaster for a few days, and "tapping" the shaft with a very light hammer. No luck.
Any suggestions?
dot 3 brake fluid. you would never think so huh? 1 try and I bet your hooked...

Pull the carb, soak the lower portion in a mix of 50/50 acetone / ATF for a day or two. report back
I have some of that mixed up, it has worked well before. It does take a day.
