63 340HP Intake Bolt Pictures

[Scott V.]

I am currently building a 340HP for my 63 convertible and have been looking online but I haven't been able to find clear pictures of which intake manifold bolts hold down the accelerator bracket (1st 2 on left front?), fuel filter stud (2nd on right front?) and solid vacuum line clip (?). If anyone has some pictures they could share I would appreciate it. Just want to make sure I position these correctly.

Thanks

It's not exactly clear to me what part you mean by "accelerator bracket". I expect it is the accelerator return spring bracket that was installed at Fint on carbureted engines, and what you need is very likely in the AIM.

I don't understand why people look "online" when there is such a wealth of original GM documentation like all the various service and overhaul manuals, AIM, and AMA specs.

I recall not long ago someone on the Corvette Forum said he spent a bunch of time looking on You Tube for a simple procedure that's in the service manuals. I suggested he buy a specific manual for his year C2 and he replied that he had one, but didn't think to look at it. Can you say Duuuuh!

That was another thing that caused me to question why I was spending any time over there and I quit not long after.

I think this is the only one in the assembly book

Thanks Matthew I really appreciate it. As Duke mentioned this is the accelerator spring bracket and it shows the first 2 front bolts on the drivers side holding it. That's exactly what I was looking for.
