Throttle Stuck on my V6

Kelly, I know you have heard some of the old sayings about some cars...One being: "If it don't run Chrome it"...

Well it is for certain you do not need any chrome! That is one more fabulous Vehicle!

Best of Wishes;)

Nick; I promise, I promise!:)

Dan: The idea of having a garage queen, isn't very satisfying...and I wasn't totally sure that the cam was going to change anything, luckily it worked out. Stick with the tried and true.:D

Lookin really good under the hood there, really tidy. But I think you should paint those throttle return springs red just as a reminder of how much grief one little oversight can cause :(.
Oh wait...maybe you don't want a reminder.
Looking forward to getting over there to check it out in person.

That's a thing of beauty. Very nice work, Kelly. All the hoses are clamped, all the wires dressed nicely. Amazing attention to detail.

The pictures, although nice, don't do this car justice. You really need to see it in person.

That's pretty funny, Chuck. I may do that, I thought the whole double return spring apparatus, was a bit of over kill, but after all of this, I thought it was needed.

I am adding an electronic rev limiter too, just in case I get carried away.

Hi Nick,

It is all you say and more, but the best part of this special Alpine, is that Kelly is going to drive it. It will not be a garage queen. Cudos to Kelly for that.
