I need an original throttle lever stud and bushings for a 1972 442 455 automatic trans with OEM Quadrajet (quadrajet came from a 1973 455 cutlass). Car currently has a makeshift bolt with multiple nuts to hole throttle cable on. Have looked everywhere can can not find an OEM throttle lever stud. Maybe someone knows where to buy one?

 

I would try eBay, any of the quadrajet rebuilders or rockauto off the top of my head

 

Some on ebay

There are assortments of them at your local auto parts store, summit, jeggs, etc...

There are a ton of ball ones, but I need one for the stock Oldsmobile throttle cable. I think I saw one on quadrajetpower.com. Not sure if it will work.

It is here: https://quadrajetpower.com/throttle-...8-threads-new/

I was hoping that there was a reproduction that I knew would work for sure. I may need to end up buying a couple of different ones to see which one will work :-(

 

If you want to use throttle cable attachment parts that are like the factory parts/size then you would want a stud with a 1/4" OD on the SMOOTH PART of the stud where these parts slip on. The original Rochesters used a 1/4" stud. Checking Summit as Eric suggested shows two good candidates:

I sell a throttle cable attachment kit that duplicates the factory setup and would work with these 1/4" studs...PM me if you want details.

 

Thanks, that is great info and helps a TON.
