Help with Air Throttle

[Ralph L. Fullenwider]

Bill:

I missed one item on that air throttle. The out put air from the air
throttle valve, the copper tubing should go to an air throttle control
cylinder modulator. It will be or should be located in the general area of
the throttle valve.

Safe travels,
