Hello all, 1968 BB: Did the factory make a different type of throttle return spring bracket if the car came equipped with A/C? My 68 Charger 383-4 came with A/C and it has this bracket (see pic #1). But I was told that it uses this bracket (see pic #2). My bracket doesn't appear to be modified or hacked if you look at the edges, so it does look like it was from the factory.

Anyone seen these brackets (pic #1) before?

Thanks in advance!!!

I had bracket #2 on my '70 383 with factory air conditioning.

Bracket #2 68 R/R 383 no ac,dont know if it is correct as car came in boxes and engine is a 70.

Thanks Pynzo & Wagonman1967 for the replies.

Anyone else?

Thanks

Bracket #2 is not correct for a 70 car. 70 used a bracket with a hole in it for the pcv hose to pass through. Bracket #2 is the non a/c 68-69 style.

#2 is on my 68 big block Dart

Herb's has your bracket listed as correct fot '66-'68

I have neither on c body 69 big block. Throttle return spring goes to the back of compressor mounting bracket. There is a small bracket that bolts to it with a hole for the spring. The bracket changes location depending on 2 or 4 barrel (383), 440 has one location for the bracket. (Wish I could add a picture to this new format)

Thanks for that. Although slightly different than mine with the curved edges as mine is straight. But the same principle. I can assume that mine is original.

Thanks again.

Yea it's a bit of a challenge. You have to use a web pic host like Photobucket or Tinypic.com to name a few. Then you have to copy and paste the picture's direct link provided by the web host to the "enter image" icon here in the message field.

Feel free to ask any questions about this.

Thanks for your reply.

#1 is the same bracket on my 68' Charger 3834V with AC
