I need a wiper switch and the pipe that comes out of the manifold and attaches to the choke coil on a 2 barrel carb. Also possibly a defroster duct, non ac car. I'm in 91351.
Another thing I need is on the right front passenger side window track where the regulator roller rides in, mine rusted away and fell apart. The window is supposed to sit in the channel.

I know the wiper switch is different. Do you have a 2 barrel carb? Maybe you can get a pic of the right front door internals so I can see what you got? Has to be a 4 door.
Is it a 2 door hardtop or post? I might the window track stuff. You can get a choke tube new from OPGI for a 70 4 barrel and it will work fine with just a very mild tweak.
Just to verify that it's the right front door? Can you get it off the glass or will it be too much of a pain? If not, is the glass clear, not green tinted? And finally, how much shipped to 91351? Thanks!

I have a complete parts car, all good trim all window glass and tracks and molding good all badging and wiper switch there... parts won't be here long cleaning up yard, let me know what all u need make u a package deal.
I'm slowly getting what I need, My work schedule makes it a pain to actually work on the car, lol, just wanted everything on this car to work when I start doing trips. Thanks
Did anybody ever find a source for the hot air tube for a 4-barrel intake manifold? The (factory correct?) 4-barrel manifold that I bought for my 1972 Vista Cruiser seems to have a different shape (1st picture) than the hot air tube that is in my 2 barrel manifold (2nd picture).
On the OPGI site I only found the version that I already had in my 2 barrel manifold. Were these hot air chokes so bad that they seem to mostly offer hot air to electric conversion kits?
Your first picture is of a manifold that takes the coil spring type choke. The carb is the hot air tube type and is incompatible with that manifold choke type. One or the other will have to be changed to mate up properly.

The "factory correct" intake that you show for your '72 350, is in fact for a '68-'69 350. These early intakes used a "divorced" choke, which had a coil mounted in the cavity shown in the picture and a rod that went up to the choke linkage. The later intakes have an actual "hole" in the crossover passage that is covered by a plate, with a bent tube that goes into the passage to pick up heat for the "choke stat", that is inside the black bakelite cover on the side. The heat is drawn in by a vacuum port in the carburetor.

Thanks guys. :-( It was sold to me as a 1972 manifold and the casting numbers matched those for a 1972 manifold on Rocketscience's thread about manifolds. https://classicoldsmobile.com/forums...-thread-3.html
It looks like the casting number alone isn't what determines the identity of the manifold?...
