Thanks Eric! This is like putting together a huge jigsaw puzzle without some of the pieces!

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01 - Short Video - Air Throttle
I received the parts yesterday and thought I should test it all out before I slap it all in the hole.
I set the regulator to 85 psi. I'm sure there will be some more mods once I'm able to test it on the initial start up and run.
I should have been talking while filming, but I can only do one thing at a time.
Click on the pic to see the short video.
I'm going to have to cut out a hole in the floor under the bed to accommodate the throttle control. I will have to install it after the engine/tranny are in place. It's too tall to leave it on while I slide it all in place.

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Here's a thought....that may not work....
IF you were to turn the throttle arm over and you fab'd a longer actuater arm linkage, maybe you could lower the servo a bunch and knock out the need to cut a hole in the floor....just a thought.

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Great minds think alike. I had thought of that. Measured everything out best I could, still about 1" too tall. Even thought of combining some of the old mechanical linkage with the new. If I can't come up with anything else I'm going to cut out the hole tomorrow. I need to get it all back in the hole.
Keep the ideas coming guys!

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Paul check my project page post #13 maybe that would help. If you need me to take more pics let me know. The air throttle that Eric sent you I think came off the engine that I now have (from his bus). I was going to leave it on but it was too tall also. That is why I kept mine. I'll send more detailed pics of mine if you need me to.

Re: Dreamscape 1968 Eagle 01
Manny, Any help is appreciated. I want to make this work! I think I found them.
Clifford, I'll give Doyle a call. Are you saying that I have the wrong style? Or is modification in order?
