Dash pot purpose and function

[Corey Bowcutt]

Well that looks very different from my setup. I wish I could post a picture

Does anyone have a picture of what the correct dashpot should look like?

not the greatest pic but Charles car.  https://www.flickr.com/photos/shelbymann1970/51897829288/in/dateposted-public/

Hard to tell for sure but that looks a whole lot more like what I have.

I wish I had a better pic. All I could find so far. I'm sure I got some at home for ref but they are at home and I am not. Gary

Thank you Gary.

The dash pot is the same. The bracket for the dash pot is different.

This is a 735 CFM carb but the dash pot mount is similar to yours.

NPD lists a dashpot for 428 CJ w/ 735 cfm and automatic. I trust it is different or they would have listed for GT 350 also. Might work in a pinch?

The picture of the car shows an Autolite dash pot. My picture shows a Holley.

Thanks Royce. I posted a Holley originally and he said it didn't look like his Royce so I posted the other photo. This is my first photo. Can't upload. Full... https://www.flickr.com/photos/shelbymann1970/51896737332/in/dateposted-public/

The 68 Holley dashpot bracket is different then the 69 version.

[Corey Bowcutt]

So is the one shown in the photo a 69?

[Royce Peterson]

This is a typical Autolite dash pot and bracket. I don't think any new ones are available.

The one in reply #22 is of a 69 Holley. Of course 69/70 GT350 didn't come with a Holley from the factory . The GT500's did and that is what a automatic carb would look like.

[Bob Gaines]

The 69 dashpot bracket sticks out too far on a 68 Holley throttle linkage and it has a eyelet for a kick down lever spring . 68's do not.  If your dashpot lines up with the throttle linkage then you have the correct one. The NPD sells the 69 type dashpot which will work but it should look like the one Royce posted.

I thought the '68 GT350/500 with Holley's shared the same dash pot?

My findings also agree with Royce on the Autolite dashpot. They are clearly not the same as the Holley version. Holley has the plunger shaft going through the threaded portion. Autolite has it opposite of the threads.
