Got a 64 Chrysler Newport need help please

[Marco Perez]

Hi everyone, I just got myself a 64 chrysler newport, from what I've researched it's the b engine 361 v8 5.8 Liter, my problem is my throttle linkage is missing a clip and my pedal sticks sometimes due to popping out of place. Can anyone help or show me the clip I am missing I will add some pictures for reference.

Thanks to anyone for helping

PS I am new to the group and look forward to getting feedback and helping others as well..

Thanks again ✌️

Damn, you type faster than me.

This may be your setup. If so it looks like you are missing something. 14-40 in the manual.

Well, probably not but I miss punctuation some times. A lot of the times in fact. So faster doesn't mean its correct

I think this bushing, is part of whats missing, it should fit the shaft & may attach to the bracket... Or may need another part to attach the bushing to the bracket...

You are probably correct as the upper rod is just an alignment bar and is removed once you align the throttle rod and tighten the nut.

Thanks beep beep but it looks like I'm missing a part to my firewall bracket which is detailed as #1 in the diagram

I found a complete linkage on another site that has been sold but it looks like there is a bushing there like Wild R/T suggested. Here is that link to the complete linkage. Use the picture as a reference.

Thanks! 1wild RT that's exactly what I need now as for the 10 inch rod that is 3/16" you think I can pick that up at home depot just as a substitute? And this I'll be my first time working on car since I just got it 2 weeks ago

The rod is just used during setup, if you leave it in place the throttle linkage will be locked up....

 

[BeepBeepRR]

That rod just aligns the linkage so you can adjust the nut in #4 position. So that the geometry is correct. Once you adjust it you remove the rod.

Read what it says here.

Would I need to place little rod in to put on the bushing ?

Probably not. The bushing should slide onto the fatter rod and clip into the bracket.

Great! Thanks to all of you, hopefully this stops the throttle from sticking. Also are the gauges easy to work on as well?.. my temp and fuel are the 3 in question is there any good place to start? Previous owner said they're both bad connections points behind the dash...

64 Chrysler has 3 gauges Fuel & Temp are the only two that are fed power through the IVR... The third gauge is the Ammeter... Oil is just a big red light...

So possibly the IVR (instrument voltage regulator) is bad or possibly the senders are both bad... Could be the gauges but I doubt it... First check is to use a test light, unplug the connector at the water temp sender, connect the test light to that lead & ground the other end, key on the test light should slowly pulse on & off... If not suspect the IVR... If it does the IVR is good... Key off, temporarily ground the lead going to the water temp sender, key on for a brief period, does the needle on the gauge quickly head for the hot end of the scale? If so the gauge & IVR are doing what they should, replace the sending unit...

Thanks again everyone I'm goinginto the Manuel head first
