I just got a dash pot and bracket for the AVS carb for my 69 Coronet R/T 440 4 speed, it was missing off the carb, does anybody have a pic of one installed and how it interacts with the linkage?

hi bee,i just did one on a 69 440 4 speed coronet. will post pics for you.ronnie

There is also a lever on the throttle shaft.

Here's one, 68-69 Hemi 4 speeds and 69 AVS 54 speed cars had these. Hemi and AVS versions had unique brackets and engagement arms but they work the same.

Scott, I think I'm missing that arm, are you still restoring these carbs?

Thank you

Yes, looks like you are missing the arm.

Yes, absolutely! Still in the carb business.

I will PM you, do you have an arm?

I might, will need to look

I know well the dash pot was on '68 - '69 4-bbl 4-speeds, because I have one.

But I was never happy with that throttle action, the long delay in going to idle, and I took it off pretty soon after I took delivery of the car.

Apparently a lot of people didn't like them and took them off, which is why there is a restoration demand for them nowadays.

This is just to say, if you're in the market for a dash pot, you might not like it after you install it either. One solution might be to install it for original looks but make it inoperative.

Dave, ( only) if Scott can't help,let me know.

Go ahead with Bill Dave, I dont have a spare AVS version on hand at the moment

I feel like an idiot, I had the wrong carb sitting on the 440, I dug the correct carb out and it has the arm on it,

Scott, this is the carb I'm going to send you, correct number and date code for my car

Cool, alls well that ends well
