Greetings, Anyone know where to buy the clevis pins and round snap holders for the carb-to-trans. linkage? I have tried Fusick and Kanter with no luck. These pieces are easy to drop down into the abyss behind engine, never to be seen again. Any help will be much appreciated. Gawain

 

Not sure, you might give Fastenal a try. Also have you tried any kind of magnet to maybe find the one you lost.
Try ASI Automotive and Google carburetor linkage clips, they have many kinds online. Larry

 

No longer have my Olds, but if the linkage looke this below ,they have them on Bow tie Classic Parts. Larry

 

I think that most of the things you describe , can be found at a hardware store .
Not a big box store , but a full service hardware , like Ace .
